Bomb Threat Against Congresswoman Trahan Investigated

Massachusetts Congresswoman Lori Trahan was the target of a bomb threat on Saturday morning, prompting a swift response from the Westford Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police, and the U.S. Capitol Police. The threat was emailed directly to the police, who found no explosives upon investigation. Trahan expressed her gratitude to law enforcement and reiterated that threats of violence have no place in the country. This incident is part of a concerning trend, with several political figures, including members of Congress and President-elect Trump's associates, receiving similar threats recently. The number of bomb threats has increased significantly over the past three years, though actual explosions remain rare. The investigation into the threat against Trahan is ongoing, reflecting the heightened political tensions and the digital age's role in facilitating such threats.
