Several of US President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and swatting attacks, according to Trump's transition team. The FBI is investigating the incidents. The attacks included bomb threats and swatting, a tactic in which false emergency reports are made to prompt an armed law enforcement response against a victim. Law enforcement authorities responded swiftly to ensure the safety of those targeted. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the threats and condemns political violence.
