Republican Senator Rand Paul on Friday called on the
FBI to investigate a crowd of
protesters that swarmed him as he departed the
White House after listening to U.S. President
Donald Trump accept his party's nomination for re-election.
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.
"I believe there are going to be people who were involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here and are not from
Washington, D.C., and are sort of paid to be anarchists," Paul said.
