The Secret Service is investigating a state lawmaker in Maine after causing alarm over a Facebook post about President Trump.
Rep. Scott Hamann called Trump a “half-term president, at most, especially if I ever get within 10 feet.”
The Democrat later said he regretted the social media post, describing his comments as “aggressively sarcastic and inappropriate.”
A Secret Service spokesman confirmed the investigation to Fox News.
“The Secret Service is aware of the comments in question and are investigating the matter.
“Allegations of any threat, inappropriate interest or unusual behavior directed towards a Secret Service protectee receives the highest priority of all our investigations.”
