Many names preferred by US President-elect Donald Trump in his cabinet and administration were targeted with bomb threats and fake emergency notifications. Karoline Leavitt, whom Trump chose as the White House Spokesperson, announced that many of the names nominated by Trump received threats yesterday and today and that the security forces responded quickly and took precautions.
“VIOLENCE CANNOT TURN US FROM OUR WAY”
While Leavitt did not provide information about other names targeted by threats, “We take President Trump as an example. “Dangerous actions and violence aimed at intimidating us cannot divert us from our path,” he said.
A BOMB WARNED AT HIS HOUSE
Elise Stefanik, who was nominated by Trump as the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations (UN), announced today that a bomb threat was made to the house where she lives with her family. “New York State, County and Capitol police intervened immediately, demonstrating the highest level of professionalism,” Stefanik said.
STATEMENT FROM THE FBI
In the statement made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it was stated that bomb threats and fake emergency notifications were made against the names nominated by Trump in the new administration and that they acted in cooperation with other security institutions on the issue. “We take all potential threats seriously and, as always, encourage members of the public to report anything they consider suspicious,” an FBI spokesperson said.
HE SURVIVED TWO ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS
There has been no statement from Trump yet regarding the bomb threats. Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential election. Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last July.
While the Republican politician was on a golf course in Florida in September, secret service members captured a rifle-wielding suspect hiding in the area.
