Trump Appointees Targeted With Bomb Threats, Swatting
HuffPost
The FBI said it was "aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees."
Multiple Cabinet nominees for President-elect Donald Trump were reportedly the targets of bomb threats and swatting attempts, according to Trump’s transition team.
Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Wednesday that “several” of Trump’s Cabinet nominees were threatened on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Along with bomb threats, Leavitt said some nominees were “swatted,” which is the act of calling law enforcement on a person’s home over a fake threat.
“In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted,” Leavitt said in a statement.
Though Leavitt did not specify who was targeted, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who has been picked to be Trump’s U.N. ambassador, said she was informed of a bomb threat against her residence.
“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,” a statement from Stefanik’s office said. “New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism.”
