The FBI today confirmed it is helping Capitol Police to investigate possible Twitter threats made against Sen. Ted Cruz.
An FBI official told ABC News authorities have already interviewed the person who posted the initial tweets and are now keeping an eye out for anyone else who might try to take action based on the information posted Friday.
The official did not say whether authorities believe there is a credible threat to Cruz, the Texas Republican who has been widely blamed for triggering the crisis that led to the government shutdown.
Federal officials often investigate such online posts out of an abundance of caution -- they often turn out to pose no credible threat.
