Federal authorities are investigating after giant markings reading “8647” appeared on the National Mall in Washington on Thursday, sparking accusations of political violence from the White House and outrage from administration officials.
An Interior Department spokesperson blasted the incident as “deranged” vandalism and vowed those responsible would face consequences.
“Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable,” the spokesperson said.
U.S. Park Police confirmed officers responded Thursday morning and launched an investigation into the mysterious markings.
“The cause of the discoloration has not yet been determined,” the office said. “Grass samples have been collected for testing. The investigation is ongoing.”
The appearance of “8647” comes as the same number sequence sits at the center of the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey.
Comey was indicted in April after the Justice Department alleged he threatened President Donald Trump by posting an Instagram photo last year showing seashells arranged to display “8647.” Trump serves as both the 45th and 47th president.
