Donald Trump's team reported this morning that several of his Cabinet picks and appointees have been the targets of bomb threats and "swatting attacks." According to spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, these attacks were "violent and unAmerican" and posed a threat to the lives of the nominees and their families.
Law enforcement responded quickly to these threats, which ranged from bomb threats to swatting. Swatting is a dangerous practice where false information is used to provoke an emergency response from law enforcement against a specific target. The FBI has acknowledged these incidents and is working closely with other law enforcement agencies to address the issue.
Among those targeted was Elise Stefanik, Trump's choice for the next ambassador to the United Nations. Her office reported that she, her husband, and their young son were informed of a bomb threat to their residence while driving home for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, law enforcement acted swiftly and professionally, ensuring their safety.
In a separate incident in Florida, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office received a bomb threat referencing former Congressman Matt Gaetz's mailbox. While a family member resides at the address, Gaetz himself is not a resident. The area was searched and no devices were found.
Gaetz, who was initially chosen to be the attorney general, withdrew from consideration following allegations of sexual misconduct. He has denied any wrongdoing and the Justice Department has found no evidence to support the allegations.
These threats come after a particularly contentious political campaign, which saw a shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania and an attempted assassination at his golf course in Florida. The Secret Service was able to prevent any harm thanks to their vigilant efforts.
As always, law enforcement encourages the public to report any suspicious activity immediately. It is important to stay vigilant and work together to keep our communities safe.
