Trump Nominees Targeted by Threats, FBI Investigates

News summary

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has reported that several of his cabinet nominees and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and 'swatting' incidents. High-profile figures such as Elise Stefanik, Trump's nominee for U.N. ambassador, and Lee Zeldin, nominated for the Environmental Protection Agency, were among those targeted. The threats, some of which carried pro-Palestinian messages, have prompted investigations by the FBI and local law enforcement, who are collaborating to ensure the safety of those affected. Swatting involves making false emergency calls to provoke a police response, and although the threats were not deemed credible, they have raised concerns about political violence. The Trump transition team expressed gratitude for the rapid response from law enforcement. Despite these incidents, Trump continues to prepare for his upcoming inauguration and has recently announced several cabinet nominations.
