American Military News reports:
Authorities erected barricades around the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters office in Washington, D.C. over the weekend. The bureau claims it has seen an increase in threats against the FBI and its agents in the wake of the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last week.
Associated Press reporter Mike Balsamo tweeted photos of the new barricades around the FBI headquarters.
“With an increasing number of threats against the FBI and agents, including an armed man who tried to breach a field office in Ohio, officials have put up barricades around FBI headquarters in DC. Similar fencing was put up after the unrest in DC in 2020 & after the Capitol riot,” he wrote.

A week ago today the FBI raided President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago. America was incensed that the FBI would have the gall to invade the President’s home, something is never done in US history.
These concerns were right as it now looks like the FBI may have been looking for documents related to their crimes rather than documents of wrongdoing by the President. We all asked, “Who is the FBI to tell the President what documents should be classified or not? This is the President’s prerogative.”
