https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj6kj383k4ko Several of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees and picks for his White House team have been targeted by bomb threats.
The FBI said it was aware of "numerous bomb threats" as well as "swatting incidents", in which hoax calls are made to attract a police response to the target's home.
Threats were made against at least nine people chosen by Trump to lead the Departments of Defence, Housing, Agriculture and Labor, as well as his pick for US ambassador to the United Nations, among others.
Police are investigating the incidents, which happened on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said the Trump appointees “were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them”.
She said "law enforcement acted quickly to ensure" the nominees' safety.
"With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she said.
Neither Leavitt nor the FBI identified any of the targets by name.

>>1364663 >>1364673 if you actually watched the cases instead of being a braindead npc you'd see how much of a kangaroo court it was.
Or i guess it's a good idea in your mind for the prosecution to upgrade misdemeanors into felonies and the judge allowing several exclusions just so they can pass the charges since it'd of otherwise been outside the statutes of limitations.
NYC juries are pieces of bias shit to begin with and deserve to be mowed over by tanks, anyone with a brain and half an hour of research can see how retarded his charges are but inb4 muh felonies.
