Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees received bomb threats and were swatted Wednesday morning and Tuesday night, according to his transition team’s spokeswoman.
“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” Trump-Vance Transition Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.”
Local law enforcement officials visited the homes of several nominees and appointees in response to threats, according to Fox News.
