Several of Donald Trump's cabinet and administration picks were targeted in recent hours with actions including bomb threats and "swatting," a spokesperson for the U.S.-president elect said on Wednesday, SİA reports quoting Reuters.
The threats were made Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and law enforcement acted quickly to ensure the safety of those targeted, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
Elise Stefanik, a U.S. representative from New York and Trump's pick to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in a statement on Wednesday that her family home had been the target of a bomb threat.
Stefanik said she, her husband and their 3-year-old son were driving from Washington to Saratoga County in New York state when they were informed of the threat.
"New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism," Stefanik said.
