Rep. Lori Trahan Targeted by Bomb Threat at Massachusetts Home

Authorities confirm no device was found after responding to a threat against the Democratic congresswoman and her family.

Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.) reported a bomb threat targeting her family and home on Saturday morning.
Local police in Westford, Massachusetts, responded to the threat and collaborated with U.S. Capitol Police and Massachusetts State Police in the investigation.
Authorities, including the state police bomb squad, found no evidence of an explosive device and deemed there was no immediate threat to public safety.
The incident follows a series of recent threats targeting lawmakers, including at least seven Democratic representatives from New England and several of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees.
The U.S. Capitol Police has reported a steady increase in threats against members of Congress, investigating over 8,000 cases in the past year.
