Huffington Post’s Senior Enterprise Editor, Nick Baumann, sent a tweet just over a month ago that he probably wishes he could take back…or maybe not, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity after all.
The following tweet was sent by Baumann on Halloween and references destroying Trump ballots at a Washington D. C. polling station. Unfortunately, while Baumann said the whole thing was just a “joke about fake news,” the FBI took it a bit more seriously.

Just 4 days later, according to an article published by Baumann today on Huffington Post, he received a call from the FBI to followup on his tweet. While he dismissed the call as a “prank” by a disgruntled reader (of which we’re sure he has many), it turned out to be quite real.
