Trump decries FBI probe of supporters surrounding Biden bus
By MICHAEL BALSAMO
November 1, 2020
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested the FBI should stop investigating an incident in which his supporters were seen surrounding a Biden campaign bus in Texas, which led Democrats to cancel an event there.
The presidents tweet came hours after the FBI confirmed that it was aware of the incident and investigating.
On Sunday night, Trump retweeted a screenshot of the FBI statement, adding: In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!
An FBI spokesperson said the bureau had no comment about the presidents tweet.
Trumps tweet come as tensions remained high between the president and FBI Director Christopher Wray, and as Trump has pressed the Justice Department and FBI to act against his rivals, including Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden himself. The president has also told people around him that he is frustrated with Wray over the FBI directors public statements on issues like voting fraud, Russian election interference and antifa, and has discussed the possibility of removing Wray if he wins reelection.
