Capitol Police Lt. Kimberly Schneider said Wednesday she could not provide details of the investigation. Rubio's office and the FBI declined to comment.

Fox News reports that Rubio is under police protection in Miami as a result.

Rubio is scheduled to give a foreign policy speech in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon.
