Numerous bomb threats made against Trump cabinet nominees
Police are investigating a wave of incidents which happened on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said the Trump appointees “were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them”.
She said that several people had been targeted and "law enforcement acted quickly to ensure" their safety.
"With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she said.
Neither Leavitt nor the FBI identified any of the targets by name.
...Similar hoax tactics have been recently used against other high-profile political figures, including against the judges and prosecutors who oversaw the criminal cases against Trump.
This is a terrible precedent. I hope it's just a fad that will fade soon. Those who do this should be promptly caught and made examples of.
