FBI Investigates Bomb Threats to Trump’s Cabinet

The FBI is investigating a series of bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting members of President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming Cabinet, raising alarm over the safety of his appointees.

In a statement on Wednesday, the FBI confirmed it is aware of “numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents” involving Trump’s nominees and is working closely with law enforcement agencies to address the issue.

Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for Trump’s transition team, called the threats “violent and un-American,” highlighting the danger posed not only to the appointees but also to their families and households.

Swatting attacks involve false crime reports intended to trigger an emergency law enforcement response at a target’s location. These threats come as Trump finalizes his Cabinet selections in preparation for his January 20 inauguration.

The incidents follow prior assassination attempts against Trump during his campaign, intensifying security concerns during this politically sensitive period.

Authorities are actively investigating to identify the perpetrators and ensure the safety of the President-elect’s team. The transition team has urged the public to condemn these actions and support law enforcement’s efforts to bring those responsible to justice.

This situation underscores the heightened risks faced by public officials in today’s polarized political climate.
