Trump cabinet nominee says pipe bomb with ‘pro-Palestinian themed message’ left at his home
[IsraelTimes] A number of US President-elect Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
’s most prominent cabinet picks and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and "swatting attacks," Trump’s transition team says. The FBI says it’s investigating.

"Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted in violent mostly peaceful, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt says in a statement.

She says the attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting, in which attackers initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses. The tactic has become a popular one in recent years.

"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," Leavitt says.

Among those targeted were New York Representative Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
, Matt Gaetz, Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, and former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, who has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.

Susie Wiles, Trump’s incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida Attorney General whom Trump has chosen as Gaetz’s replacement, were also targeted, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity amid the ongoing investigation. Wiles and Bondi did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Zeldin says in a social media post that he and his family had been threatened.

"A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Paleostinian themed message," he writes on X. "My family and I were not home at the time and are safe. We are working with law enforcement to learn more as this situation develops."

Police in Suffolk County, Long Island, say emergency officers responded to a bomb threat this morning at an address listed in public records as Zeldin’s home and were checking the property.
