Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman remains at large after his late Saturday night escape from a Mexican prison.
Donald Trump has a very real concern that escaped drug kingpin El Chapo might try to take him out.
The Republican presidential candidate went to the FBI on Monday after firing off tweets about notorious druglord Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzmán and getting an obscene threat in response.
“Keep bothering me and I’ll make you swallow all your bitch words you f---ing blond milks--tter @realDonaldTrump,” Guzmán or one of his operatives said in a threatening tweet translated from a Spanish-language Twitter account linked to his son.
The ominous missive came as Trump said Guzmán’s audacious escape from a supermax prison Saturday night proved his prior claim that Mexico is corrupt and responsible for an influx of “rapists,” drug dealers and other criminals to the U.S.

Donald Trump has a very real concern that escaped drug kingpin El Chapo might try to take him out.
“Mexico’s biggest druglord escapes from jail. Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price. I told you so!” Trump tweeted early Monday.
The Donald suggested in subsequent posts that fellow candidates Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush would negotiate with the bloodthirsty billionaire, whereas he “would kick his ass!”
When Guzmán’s camp allegedly replied, Trump went to the feds.

“The FBI is fully aware of the situation and is actively investigating this threat against Mr. Trump,” a Trump spokeswoman said in a statement to the Daily News.

Jesus Gutierrez-Guzman, pictured, will be sentenced in New Hampshire on Monday for his role in his cousin El Chapo's cartel.
“I’m fighting for much more than myself. I’m fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals. You can’t be intimidated. This is too important,” Trump said in an earlier statement.
The news came amid other developments in the stunning story of Guzmán, 58, the fabled boss of northern Mexico’s ruthless Sinaloa Cartel.
Mexican authorities offered 60 million pesos, or $3.8 million U.S., as a reward for information, and fired the prison’s director.
New documents reveal U.S. officials knew Guzmán and his associates developed several escape plans shortly after his capture last year.
Sentencing for Guzmán’s cousin on a drug conviction in New Hampshire was delayed more than a month.

BLOODTHIRSTY 'EL CHAPO' CASTS A LARGE SHADOW IN MEXICAN LORE
Photos sent to a Mexican blog reportedly showed Guzmán enjoying a beer and flying in a plane after his daring escape.
Born to a family of peasant farmers in Badiraguato — a village known as the cradle of the drug trade — the 5-foot-6 Guzmán dropped out of school in third grade to work in marijuana and poppy fields and was recruited by Guadalajara cartel boss Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, a godfather of the modern drug trade.
He had a talent for logistics and learned to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. before almost dying in a 1993 gunfight at the Guadalajara airport that killed the city’s archbishop.
He gradually took over what became the biggest drug gang in the country — amassing a fortune that Forbes estimated at $1 billion in 2013. He climbed the ladder and maintained control by using hit squads and assassins to squash his enemies. His cartel has been involved in an ongoing drug war, leaving thousands dead.
Along the way, Guzmán married three women including an 18-year-old beauty queen, sired at least 10 children and buried countless compatriots.

Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman Loera escapes prison
His capture last year was a huge coup for the Mexican government.
His escape from his maximum-security prison outside Mexico City on Saturday night — which used a tunnel connecting his cell’s shower area to an unfinished house about a mile away — was a major embarrassment.
Indeed, Mexican President Enrique Peńa Nieto and his government previously refused a U.S. bid for Guzmán’s extradition saying the country was more than capable of keeping the rich and powerful criminal behind bars.

The tunnel escape was particularly embarrassing considering the cartel’s widespread fame for digging sophisticated tunnels with lighting and ventilation to smuggle drugs into the U.S.
Unverified photos sent to the drug trafficking blog El Blog Del Narco and published Monday reportedly showed Guzmán enjoying his newfound freedom.

Mexican federal police guard a drainage pipe outside of the Altiplano maximum security prison in Almoloya on Sunday.
One showed him sitting in the passenger seat of a private plane while the other showed him sitting with others while holding a beer bottle. They reportedly were sent to the site by one of Guzmán’s sons.
Guzmán previously escaped from one of Mexico’s top security prisons in Jalisco in January 2001. He sneaked out in a laundry cart, according to legend.
Mexican authorities continued their manhunt Monday as the White House said U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke with Mexico’s attorney general on Sunday and offered full American support.
“(Guzmán’s) swift recapture by Mexican authorities is a priority for both Mexican and U.S. governments,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said.

Meanwhile, documents obtained by The Associated Press revealed that U.S. officials knew Guzmán and his associates started working on escape plans shortly after his recapture in the beach resort town of Mazatlan last year.
In March 2014, Los Angeles agents reported a possible escape operation that involved threatening or bribing prison officials, the internal Drug Enforcement Administration documents said.
The same investigation revealed four months later that Guzmán’s son had sent a team of lawyers and military counter-intelligence personnel to design a breakout plan.
By December, agents in the DEA’s Houston Field Division reported a Mexican Army general stated “that a deal was in place to release” Guzmán and another drug lord.

Mexican President Enrique Peńa Nieto turned down a U.S. bid to extradite El Chapo. Now the drug lord is loose.
The documents also said Guzmán had been directing facets of his cartel while incarcerated thanks to visits with lawyers and the use of a cellphone provided by corrupt prison guards.
As Guzmán remained on the lam Monday, his cousin was due in a federal court in New Hampshire for sentencing that was ultimately delayed.
Guzmán’s cousin Jesus Gutierrez-Guzmán faces at least 10 years in prison for trying to expand his family’s cartel northward by distributing massive amounts of cocaine throughout the U.S.
Gutierrez-Guzmán has pleaded guilty to planning to dispense more than 1,000 kilograms of cocaine across the country.
With immigration already a leading issue for the 2016 U.S. presidential election — and with New Hampshire’s primary just seven months away — Trump couldn’t resist tying his controversial comments about undocumented immigration to Guzmán’s escape.
“El Chapo and the Mexican drug cartels use the border unimpeded like it was a vacuum cleaner, sucking drugs and death right into the U.S.” read one of his tweets Monday.
“The joke around town is that I freed El Chapo from the Mexican prison because the timing was so good w/ my statements on border security,” he said.
