The U.S. Secret Service is investigating death threats against Vice President Mike Pence made by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, Fox News has learned. "We are aware of the comments and take all threats against our protectees seriously," a Secret Service spokesman told Fox News on Saturday. The Secret Service and other federal agencies also are investigating others seen on a video inside the U.S. Capitol yelling "Hang Pence." The threats to the vice president come days after a pro-Trump group stormed the U.S. Capitol to protest the formal certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. A Twitter spokesperson told Fox News on Saturday that the company had "blocked the phrase and other variations of it from trending."
