Trump Warns J6 Investigators They’ll Pay “Very Steep Price”
President Donald Trump reportedly escalated his attacks on January 6 investigators this week, vowing they would pay a “very steep price” and calling them “thugs,” according to a Raw Story headline and social media posts circulating online. This claim has heightened political tension around the continued scrutiny of the 2021 Capitol attack.
The comments, shared via Facebook and Threads embeds linking to Raw Story, suggest Trump reacted angrily to members of the January 6 committee or related investigators, though the specific context, platform, and timing of his remarks remain unclear.
As of now, no major U.S. news outlet has independently verified the comments or published a direct transcript of Trump’s alleged statement. Reuters, AP, and other mainstream outlets accessed for this story do not show a matching report confirming the threat.

This raises the question: were these remarks made on social media, in a speech, or in private correspondence? The absence of a clear source or official White House record leaves the raw claims unconfirmed beyond the Raw Story social posts.
“Anyone who goes after me and the people who stood with me at January 6 will face consequences,” one post attributed to Trump said, though the precise wording and source are not independently verified.
If confirmed, such a threat from a sitting president, could deepen divisions over accountability for January 6 and raise legal and political stakes in the months ahead.
Journalists and political analysts are watching for mainstream reporting or White House clarification to confirm the authenticity and context of the alleged comments.
What happens next?
Major news organizations may verify the quote or Trump may issue an official statement clarifying his remarks.
