US President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team reported “threats” against members of the future administration on Wednesday, said his spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt.
“Last night and this morning, several people appointed by President Trump to join his team were the targets of violent and anti-American threats,” Leavitt said in a statement published on his account on the social network X.
She added that “these attacks range from bomb threats to swatting” (the practice of provoking police raids on victims, without giving further details, Editor’s note).
“In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted with dispatch to ensure the safety of those targeted,” she said.
In a statement, the US Federal Police (FBI) said it was aware of “numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting candidates and appointees to the new administration”.
