Gabbard warned of the potential influence figures like Comey wield when making such statements, especially given his public stature, media presence, and potential implications for civil unrest and government liability exposure.
“This is the guy who is issuing a hit on President Trump, the President that the American people voted for,” she said.
When asked by Watters how seriously the administration is taking the matter, Gabbard confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security is actively investigating the situation.

“We’re taking this very seriously,” she said. “The Department of Homeland Security and specifically Sean Curran, the current Secret Service Director.
Takes this seriously and is leading the investigation into this threat.”
