On the 27th, Donald Trump’s Bloomberg L.P. Team said, several of Donald Trump’s cabinet and government nominees were \u201cSubjected to violent, non-american-style threats\u201d between the evening and the morning of the 26th and 27th local time. \u201cThese threats include bomb threats and malicious alarms,\u201d Caroline of Ansbach Levitt, a spokesman for the transition team and nominee for White House Press Secretary, said in a statement. Law enforcement agencies and other departments to take prompt action to ensure the safety of the target. President Donald Trump and the entire transition team thanked them for their swift action,\u201d Levitt said, donald Trump and his team remain focused on their work and \u201cDangerous intimidation and violence will not deter them\u201d.<\/p>\n
Lutnik, the chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, which was named Commerce Secretary, was among the nominees for the bomb threat, according to reports. Sources said New York State Police received an e-mail about 8 am local time on the 27th, claiming that a bomb had been placed in Lutnick’s mailbox in Manhattan. \u201cThis morning, Congresswoman Elis Stefanick, her husband and their three-year-old son were driving back from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were notified that there was a bomb threat at their Saratoga County,\u201d Stefanick’s office said in a statement Tuesday<\/p>\n
The Washington Post reported on the 27th that in addition to the above two people, rawlins, Donald Trump’s choice for agriculture; Scott Turner, his choice for housing and Urban Development; Drehmer, his choice for labor; Zeldin, his choice for Environmental Protection Agency; They received a bomb threat. The home of former Justice Minister nominee Matt Gates, who has announced his withdrawal, has also received bomb threats, Reuters said.<\/p>\n

President Biden was briefed on the incident and condemned the threat of political violence, a White House spokesman said Tuesday. He said the White House would be in touch with federal law enforcement and Donald Trump’s team and would continue to monitor developments closely. The response from federal law enforcement and local agencies will continue.<\/p>\n
US politicians have increasingly been the target of\u201cMalicious 911\u201d attacks. Earlier this year, a caller using a fake number falsely reported a fire at the White House and asked the Washington, D.C. , government to send fire and rescue workers to the White House, Bloomberg reported. Biden was in Camp David, Maryland, for the weekend. Republican Rick Scott such as Florida Senator and Georgia Congressman Marjory Guerin have also been harassed by \u201cMalicious 911\u201d calls before.<\/p>\n
The rise in such\u201cMalicious threats\u201d is also a microcosm of the increased risk of political violence in the US. According to the Council on Foreign Relations website, the University of Nebraska in Omaha has reported a record 2024 of threats against public officials across the US. According to the Washington Post, since the beginning of the 2024, members of Congress, state officials, local leaders and judges, some of whom are well known, have been politically threatened across the country, others are relatively low-key.<\/p>\n
Some threatened officials said they feared the threat could turn violent at any time, the report said. With the exception of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in July, there are 20th-century precedents for such behaviour. In 1995, disgruntled with the federal government, they planned and carried out a Oklahoma City bombing of a federal building that killed 168 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
