President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees were targeted with violent threats, including bomb threats and swatting, in recent hours. Swatting refers to falsely reporting crimes to police. The threats occurred on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, prompting a swift response from law enforcement to ensure the safety of those targeted. The FBI is actively investigating the threats and is working with other law enforcement partners to address the situation. President Trump and his transition team are grateful for the quick action taken to protect the nominees. The FBI takes all potential threats seriously and encourages the public to report anything suspicious to law enforcement immediately.
