JAKARTA - The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) condemned Donald Trump supporters for making threats on social media, after law enforcement officers raided the former president's residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Monday.
Trump supporters posted threatening remarks on Gab, a social media site popular with far-right circles. Someone named Stephen wrote on the site, he was waiting for the 'call' to carry out an armed revolution.
"All it takes is one call. And millions (of people) will arm and take back this country. It will be over in less than 2 weeks," reads the post.
Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said he was "always concerned about threats and violence against law enforcement".
"Any threat made against law enforcement, including FBI men and women, as with any other law enforcement agency, is deeply distressing and dangerous," he explained, responding to reporters' questions about comments on social media.
The FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago focused on at least 10 boxes of documents missing from the White House, which the US National Archives said had been retrieved in violation of laws governing presidential records.
A day later, Republican politician and close Trump ally Scott Perry said his cell phone had been confiscated by the FBI, although it was later returned after it was documented, without accessing the information on it.
Perry has previously given testimony regarding the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. Investigations into the events that killed five people are known to be ongoing.
