Donald Trump’s criminal indictments in New York and Miami sparked a barrage of threats from his extremist supporters and alleged Russian hackers including bomb threats, protest plans and other forms of violence, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg News.
None of the threats materialized, but the 85 pages obtained under the Freedom of Information Act provide a behind-the-scenes look at how federal agents responded to the threats.
Such activity is likely to continue as Trump faces another state indictment in Georgia and as federal probes continue into his efforts to overturn the election and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. A pre-trial hearing before the judge presiding over the criminal case over his mishandling of classified documents is scheduled for Tuesday in Fort Pierce, Florida.
