FBI Confirms Bomb Threats Targeted Trump's Cabinet Picks

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team reported that several of his cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted by bomb threats and "swatting attacks" on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The incidents involved threats to the lives of individuals including Pete Hegseth, Elise Stefanik, John Ratcliffe, Howard Lutnick, and Lee Zeldin. Swatting is a tactic where a false crime is reported to emergency services, often as a prank or act of revenge. The FBI stated that they are aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents and take all potential threats seriously.
