FBI Confirms Bomb Threats Targeted Trump's Cabinet Picks
ai generated text
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.
A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message.
We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.
Sometimes swatting is done for revenge, sometimes as a prank.
The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners.
Either way, it is a serious crime, and one that has potentially dangerous consequences.
This year, there was not just one but TWO assassination attempts on President Trump.
With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.
This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three-year-old son were driving home to Saratoga county from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence. New York State, county law enforcement, and US Capitol police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism.
We are thankful for the swift actions taken by local officers.
