President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees were targeted with violent threats, including bomb threats and swatting, in recent hours. Swatting involves falsely reporting crimes to send law enforcement to a location under false pretenses. Trump’s transition team confirmed the threats and thanked law enforcement for their swift response. The FBI is actively investigating these incidents and is working with law enforcement partners to ensure the safety of those targeted. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
