A government website was reportedly altered on Saturday to depict an image of President Trump bleeding from his month while getting punched in the face by a person wearing Islamic Revolutionary Guard symbol.

According to CBS News, the image appeared briefly on the homepage for the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) shortly before the page was made inaccessible. The page also reportedly featured a message at the time, reading: “Hacked by Iran Cyber Security Group Hackers. This is only small part of Iran’s cyber ability! We’re always ready.”

The FDLP provides users with free access to federal government information and is operated by the Government Publishing Office, according to CNN

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) told The Hill on Sunday afternoon that its office is monitoring the situation with the FDLP.
