WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An aide to Donald Trump said on Monday the FBI is
investigating threatening tweets to the U.S. Republican presidential
candidate purported to have originated from Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, a
notorious Mexican drug lord who escaped from prison on Saturday. Reuters could not confirm the authenticity of the Twitter accounts from which the threats were allegedly made.
Trump, a real estate billionaire who has generated controversy by
saying many illegal immigrants from Mexico are criminals and rapists,
said in a statement on Sunday that "corrupt Mexican officials" had let
Guzman escape.
A Twitter account made out in the kingpin's name,
Joaquin Guzman Loera, that on Sunday had celebrated his escape sent a
message threatening Trump if he continued to speak out.
"Keep
screwing (with us) and I'm going to make you eat your fucking words you
lousy white faggot," said the Twitter account with the user name
@ElChap0Guzman.
Four Mexican government officials said they
could not say whether the account, as well as several others in the name
of some of Guzman's children that were linked to it, were genuine.
"I am told they are apocryphal," said Mexican Deputy Interior Minister Roberto Campa.
