The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have issued a bulletin to law enforcement across the country warning them that, in the wake of Saturday's attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, violent extremists could try to conduct "follow-on or retaliatory" attacks at events over the next few months related to the 2024 presidential election.
The bulletin urged local, state and federal law enforcement -- and their partners -- to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
"The FBI and DHS remain concerned ... particularly given that individuals in some online communities have threatened, encouraged, or referenced acts of violence in response to the attempted assassination," said the bulletin, issued Monday night as the Republican National Convention got underway in Milwaukee to officially nominate Trump as the Republican Party's candidate for the White House in November.
