Political commentator Keith Edwards stated that FBI agents visited his home after he posted messages on social media regarding the controversial restoration of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.The restoration project, reportedly costing $14 million and ordered as part of preparations for the 250th anniversary of U.S.independence, has drawn criticism after reports of algae growth and peeling blue paint shortly after completion.

Earlier on June 19, Edwards posted online that he would pay anyone willing to send him a piece of the paint that was reportedly peeling from the pool.He also referenced the number '86.

47' in the offer, a number that has recently attracted political attention because of its mention in a Justice Department case involving former FBI Director James Comey.Some conservative commentators have interpreted the phrase as implying a threat against President Donald Trump.

Later that day, Edwards informed his followers that FBI agents had arrived at his residence and said the visit was connected to his online comments about collecting paint debris from the project.He publicly mocked the encounter in a follow-up post.

The article notes that reports have emerged of FBI visits involving other critics of the Trump administration, including some individuals associated with anti-administration demonstrations and social media commentary.

Edwards is a prominent political content creator with a large online audience and previously worked on Michael Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign.

The report primarily relies on Edwards’ public statements and social media posts regarding the alleged FBI visit and the circumstances surrounding it.
