Several top-level picks for Donald Trumps future cabinet got death and bomb threats at their homes during pre-holiday time. Law enforcement checked houses of Pete Hegseth‚ John Ratcliffe‚ Elise Stefanik Matt Gaetz and Howard Lutnick after getting alerts
A bomb-squad team went to Gaetzs Florida house (where his family member was present) after getting pipe-bomb info. The ex-congressman wasnt home when police brought sniffer dogs to check his mail-box; this happened just weeks after he stepped back from attorney-general talks
Last night and this morning several of president Trumps Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them
Elise Stefanik got a bomb-warning while going to Saratoga County with her husband and 3-year old kid. Howard Lutnicks Upper East Side home also needed checking; while Lee Zeldin - picked to lead EPA - faced similar issues
The FBI is looking into these threats and swatting cases (fake emergency calls that make police rush to peoples houses). Such tricks hit many high-profile persons lately including judge Arthur Engoron and Nikki Haley. The practice started getting big around 08 but now its more common in political circles
