Donald Trump News: Several key nominees selected for Donald Trump’s potential new administration in the US are receiving threats. Following the complaint, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has started investigating the matter.
These threats are being received by potential members of Trump’s cabinet (who will work together in the future Trump administration) and their families. Donald Trump’s transition team spokeswoman Caroline Levitt confirmed that several potential appointees of the Trump administration have faced “swatting” and “bomb threats”.
The FBI has also taken these incidents seriously and has started investigating. The agency said that these threats also include attempts to confuse the police or other agencies by giving false information.
What is swatting and bomb threat?
In this, police or SWAT team is sent to an innocent person’s house through a false emergency call. In this, an attempt is made to spread terror in public or private places through threats. Alice Stefanik, chosen by Trump for the ambassador to the United Nations, said that she has received a threat to blow up her New York house.
FBI’s response
: The FBI said that we take all potential threats seriously and are investigating the matter thoroughly. This incident underlines the importance of security politically. Incidents like bomb threats and swatting not only endanger personal safety, but also become a symbol of political polarization.
