Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks and administration appointees were the targets of “violent” threats Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Wednesday.
“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,'” Leavitt said. “In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.”
