FBI’s Wray denounces threats to law enforcement after agency searches Trump's home

FBI Director Wray calls violent rhetoric and threats that have circulated online against federal agents and the Justice Dept. in the wake of his agency's search of Mar-a-Lago 'deplorable and dangerous.'

Christopher Wray, who was appointed as the agency’s director in 2017 by Trump, called threats circulating online against federal agents and“I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.”

It has been easy to find the threats and a call to arms in those corners of the internet favored by right-wing extremists since Trump himself announced the search of his Florida home. Reactions included the ubiquitous “Lock and load” and calls for federal agents and even U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to be assassinated.
