Connecticut Democrats, Trump Team Face Bomb Threats

News summary

Several Democratic lawmakers, particularly from Connecticut, including Reps. Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, and Sen. Chris Murphy, were targeted with bomb threats at their homes over Thanksgiving. These threats, which were reported as part of a coordinated effort, found no explosives upon investigation. Similar threats and 'swatting' incidents also targeted several high-profile figures associated with President-elect Donald Trump's transition team. Law enforcement, including the FBI, is investigating these threats, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemning the acts and advocating for the prosecution of those responsible for political violence. The messages accompanying these threats were reportedly signed with 'MAGA,' reflecting the political tensions surrounding these incidents. Lawmakers have expressed gratitude for the swift response of law enforcement and emphasized the need for peace and civility during the holiday season.
