CBSN
California Congressman Eric Swalwell estimates that he receives "multiple death threats every single day" and that his chief of staff devotes up to 10 hours each week dealing with federal authorities sorting out the severity of threats faced by Swalwell, his family and staff members.
"My kids don't play in our front yard because we get letters to the residence that are also threats," he told CBS News on "The Takeout" this week. "People have shown when they call and say, 'I know where you live' and then you get a letter at the house, it shows they probably do."
Swalwell, a Democrat, said the threats have forced him to change his habits and his office's approach to security.
