President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees were targeted with violent threats, including bomb threats and swatting, in recent hours. The threats occurred on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, prompting swift action from law enforcement officials. Swatting is when false crimes are reported to police, leading them to locations where no emergency exists. The Trump transition team expressed gratitude for the quick response of authorities to ensure the safety of those targeted. The FBI is actively investigating the incidents and working with law enforcement partners to address the threats. They are taking all potential threats seriously and encouraging the public to report anything suspicious to law enforcement. The safety and security of the incoming administration nominees and appointees is a top priority, and efforts are being made to ensure their protection.
