Report: Feds Investigate Threats Against Reid After Bundy ‘Terrorist’ Comments
Threats made against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) are being investigated by federal law enforcement, Politico reported Monday, citing “people familiar with the matter.”
Politico’s sources said that threats were made against Reid following his numerous criticisms of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his backers, who he described as “domestic terrorists.” Reid’s security detail has been increased as a result, the report said.
“We are currently looking into threatening statements made against Sen. Reid as part of an ongoing investigation,” a U.S. Capitol Police spokesperson told the news outlet.
