In a separate attack, 59-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly tried to shoot Trump on his Florida golf course.
Both incidents have fueled concerns over Trump’s safety, and critics argue that Comey’s post could potentially incite further violence.Gabbard did not mince words regarding the seriousness of the situation, adding,
“I’m very concerned for the President’s life, and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this.”
Comey’s post has since been deleted, but the fallout continues. Noem has vowed to pursue the investigation, stating,
“I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of @POTUS Trump. This is an ongoing investigation.”As the federal investigation into the incident unfolds, questions remain about whether Comey will face criminal charges and what the broader implications of this controversy might be for the former FBI chief.
