An uptick in threats to the FBI after it executed a search warrant at former President Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate is\u00a0unsettling the political right<\/a>, with some calling on allies of the former president to tone down their rhetoric.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Barriers have been erected outside the perimeter of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., while the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly\u00a0issued a joint bulletin<\/a>\u00a0Friday warning about spikes in threats that included a bomb threat at FBI headquarters and calls for a \u201ccivil war\u201d and \u201carmed rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fox News host Steve Doocy on Monday\u00a0urged the former president<\/a>\u00a0and others to \u201ctamp down the rhetoric against the FBI\u201d in light of the threats, while Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee,\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation\u201d that Trump\u2019s language was \u201cinflammatory.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to put any law enforcement in the bull\u2019s-eye of a potential threat,\u201d McCaul said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bulletin issued by DHS and the FBI cited an incident in which a man armed with an AR-15-style rifle allegedly fired a nail gun into an FBI office in Cincinnati, Ohio last week, according to NBC News. He was fatally shot by police after a chase and standoff, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
