U.S. Park Police said it’s investigating the matter.

“Grass samples have been collected for testing,” the agency told media outlets.

White House Spokesman Davis Ingle denounced the act, saying, “Anyone who engages in or endorses political violence or assassination culture must be condemned in the harshest terms possible.”

The phrase “86 47” has been used often by Trump critics, including fired FBI Director James B. Comey.

Last year, Comey posted a photo on Instagram of seashells on a beach forming the numbers “86 47,” prompting an inquiry by the U.S. Secret Service.

Last month, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan accused Comey of committing multiple offenses, including what he described as a threat against President Trump.

Jordan made the comments during an interview with Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer while discussing a social media controversy involving Comey.
