Do Trump’s attacks on DOJ and FBI constitute illegal incitement? – USA TODAY

Do Trump’s attacks on DOJ and FBI constitute illegal incitement?

Some legal experts say they do, and present the DOJ with a quandary over whether to prosecute a former president if he meets the legal threshold.

  • Trump called FBI agents “vicious monsters” at a campaign rally last Saturday in Pennsylvania
  • Jan. 6 committee members say Trump’s speech might incite attacks on FBI, DOJ.
  • Federal law enforcement agencies have already warned of worrisome political violence.

Thanks in part to incendiary rhetoric from Donald Trump, threats toward the FBI, Justice Department and other law enforcement agencies already were on the rise before the search of the former president’s estate and members-only club at Mar-a-Lago a month ago.
