WASHINGTON—Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Aug. 28 called on the FBI to investigate a crowd of protesters that swarmed him as he departed the White House after listening to President Donald Trump accept his party’s nomination for reelection.
Paul told Fox News Channel he believes the group chanting his name and pushing against his impromptu police escort was paid to incite a riot. He didn’t say who he believes financially backed them or offer any evidence for his view.
