U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart signed a search warrant earlier this week that allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to search former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

The raid has been one of this week's most explosive headlines, especially with the ongoing investigation of the January 6 Capitol riot.

Reports revealed that the FBI raid was related to an ongoing investigation wherein the former president allegedly took classified documents from the White House after his presidency.

With the commotion that the raid has caused, Bruce Reinhart now faces threats from Donald Trump supporters because of his instrumental involvement in the raid.

Judge Bruce Reinhart Faces Heat From Donald Trump Supporters After Inking Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant

According to The Florida Times-Union, Bruce Reinhart's biography and contact information were removed from the U.S. District of Court for the Southern District of Florida's website.

The exact reason why Reinhart's information was removed from the website has yet to be answered by officials.

However, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg told the outlet that it was in response to the threats Reinhart had received after inking the search warrant.

"I hear he's getting threats, that his information was taken down from the judicial directory, and he's the object of vitriol from supporters of the former president," Aronberg noted.

VICE News reported that Donald Trump supporters' message boards and social networks were already filled with violent and antisemitic threats against the judge.

Some even posted what appeared to be Reinhart's home address, phone numbers, and names of his family members.

"Let's find out if he has children... where they go to school, where they live... EVERYTHING," a supporter wrote on one of the message boards.

Another user wrote on the pro-Trump message board: "This is the piece of sh*t judge who approved FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago... I see a rope around his neck."

Advance Democracy, a non-partisan organization that conducts public-interest investigations, discovered that these far-right extremist message boards were all over 4chan, Telegram, Gettr, Gab, and Donald Trump's social media platform, Truth Social.

One of the message boards where Reinhart's private information was leaked was also reportedly the same thread where details leading to the January 6 Capitol attack were given out.

"In addition to the antisemitic and violent slurs, we're seeing his address and other personal information being shared online-with the implied or explicit purpose of 'real-life' action," Advance Democracy founder Daniel Jones told VICE News.

Trump's supporters found Bruce Reinhart's signing of the search warrant as a political move. Donald Trump echoed this sentiment, saying that the unannounced raid was an "attack" orchestrated by "Radical Left Democrats."
