Several individuals nominated for key positions within Donald Trump's administration have been subjected to alarming threats, including bomb threats and swatting incidents, according to a spokesperson.
One of the high-profile targets, Elise Stefanik, Trump's pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, revealed that her family home was threatened with a bomb. Another nominee, Lee Zeldin, shared on social media a message containing a bomb threat directed at his family, amid rising tensions regarding his designation to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.
