Connecticut Democrats Face 'Swatting' Bomb Threats

On Thanksgiving Day, multiple Democratic representatives from Connecticut, including Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney, and John Larson, were targeted by bomb threats at their homes. Law enforcement agencies, including local police and the U.S. Capitol Police, responded swiftly to the threats, but no bombs or explosive materials were found. These incidents were part of a series of 'swatting' threats that also targeted several of President-elect Trump's Cabinet nominees earlier in the week. The representatives expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their professional response and emphasized that such acts of political violence are unacceptable. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are investigating these threats, which are sometimes orchestrated for attention or entertainment. All targeted representatives and their families are reported to be safe, as the investigation continues.
