WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) – Rep. Frederica Wilson’s office claims multiple threatening phone calls directed at congresswoman came into her D.C. office on Wednesday.

Her staff told CBS4’s Carey Codd the calls were directly related to the phone call from the president to the wife of Army Sgt. La David Johnson.

The congresswoman’s staff said they alerted the Capital Police, Miami Garden Police and the threat division of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Codd was told she is safe and that she is being protected at this point.

Even the Russian trolls left traces.

Catch a few and give them ten years for domestic terrorism.

No messing around!

They're more likely to receive the Medal of Honor than being arrested for domestic terrorism.

It's what bullies and their followers do. I'm glad she spoke out and hope she continues to do so. And I hope others join her. I was surprised to see Col Jack Jacobs being so frank on MSNBC this afternoon. He was not holding back with Trump. Totally disgusted with him - no political correctness there.

the troll attackers will never stop, this RW hate directed against mainly Ds who speak out against Trump is going to get worse over the next months & years.

They have to be exposed & charged with crimes- IN PUBLIC. Expose the threats and ask for the publics help to catch them & any group who promotes these attacks.

He was offensive with a statement that in its least critical interpretation was totally insensitive to deliberately hateful spite. I tend to call it spite by Trump’s denial. Think about it directed to a young war widow, pregnant, on her way to collect her husbands body. It does not get lower than this. The monster has a head and a name Donald Trump.
