Situated directly between the Lincoln Memorial and the White House on the National Mall, the apparent threat against President Trump, who is the 47th president, appeared at a location that thousands of tourists and residents pass daily. To \u201986\u2019 something means to get rid of or throw something out. On rare occasions, the number has been used to suggest killing, mostly by organized crime groups or gangs.<\/p>\n

The markings are largely invisible from ground level, and apparently may have been hiding in plain sight for several days. Though the numbers were not seen in a photo from Getty Images on June 5, they could be seen in photos taken on June 9, according to the Washington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Park Police, the National Guard, and the D.C. Fire Department are investigating the markings. Law enforcement collected\u00a0samples of the grass and prevented passersby from walking in the area.<\/p>\n

The incident on the National Mall comes after former FBI director James Comey was indicted on April 28 on multiple counts for an Instagram post that included the same message, \u201c86 47,\u201d written in seashells on the beach. The Trump administration interpreted the image as a threat on the president\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201c[A] reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States,\u201d the Justice Department said in an open court document. Comey\u2019s trial will begin on October 21.<\/p>\n
