Bomb Threats Target Lawmakers From Both Parties Over Thanksgiving

Threats signed with 'MAGA' targeted Connecticut Democrats and Trump appointees, prompting calls for increased security for public officials.

Multiple Democratic lawmakers from Connecticut, including Sen. Chris Murphy and five House members, received bomb threats and swatting attempts on Thanksgiving Day.
The threats, described as hoaxes, were signed with 'MAGA,' referencing Donald Trump's political slogan, and no explosives were found at the targeted locations.
Earlier in the week, several of President-elect Trump's cabinet nominees, including Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin, were also targeted by similar threats and swatting incidents.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the threats as 'unacceptable' and called for 'maximum protection' for members of Congress and their families.
Law enforcement, including the FBI, is investigating the incidents, with Capitol Police declining to release details to minimize the risk of copycat actions.
