FBI investigates threats against incoming Trump administration personnel

The FBI is investigating threats against several of President-elect Trump’s Cabinet picks and appointees. Bomb threats and “swatting attacks” were reported this week against a number of Trump’s incoming administration members, including chief of staff Susie Wiles, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik who was picked to be the next ambassador to the U-N, and Lee Zeldin, the nominee to lead the EPA. A Trump transition team spokeswoman called the threats “violent” and “un-American.” The White House said President Biden had been briefed and that officials are in touch with federal law enforcement and Trump’s transition team.
