(Worthy News) – The FBI announced Wednesday that it is investigating bomb threats and “swatting” incidents, as well as other threats, targeting several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees.
The FBI stated it is “aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners. We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement,” according to The Associated Press.
Several of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, including Brooke Rollins, Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Scott Turner, faced bomb threats and swatting incidents Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, according to his transition team’s spokeswoman.
“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” said Trump-Vance Transition Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement.
“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.”
Ms. Leavitt, soon-to-be White House press secretary, praised law enforcement for quickly ensuring the safety of those targeted and affirmed President Trump’s commitment to uniting the nation and pursuing a prosperous future despite acts of intimidation.
“Law enforcement acted swiftly to ensure the safety of those targeted, and President Trump and the transition team are grateful for their efforts,” said Ms. Leavitt. She added, “President Trump remains focused on uniting the nation and ensuring a safe, prosperous future. Acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.”
