In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI and Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and ANTIFA agitators, who are running around burning our cities ruled by Democrats and harming our people. https://t.co/of6Lna3HMU

The U.S. FEDERAL Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating an incident in which supporters of Donald Trump were seen surrounding a Joe Biden campaign bus in Texas.
In videos posted to Twitter, a group of cars and trucks, many adorned with large Trump flags, can be seen traveling alongside the Democratic campaign bus on Friday, and sometimes embedding it, as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin.
However, trying to downplay the incident, the US President has said that the FBI should stop investigating it.
The president’s tweet came hours after the FBI confirmed that it was “aware of the incident and investigating.”
Last night, Trump retweeted a screenshot of the FBI statement, adding: “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong.
“Instead, the FBI and Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists and agitators of ANTIFA, who run burning our cities governed by Democrats and harming our people.”
An FBI spokesman said the office had no comment on the president’s tweet.
Trump’s tweet comes as tensions remained high between the president and FBI Director Christopher Wray, and when Trump has lobbied the Justice Department and the FBI to act against rivals, including Democratic presidential candidate Joe himself. Biden.
The president has also told people around him that he is frustrated with Wray over the FBI director’s public statements on issues such as election fraud, Russian election interference and antifa, and has discussed the possibility of removing Wray if he wins reelection.
