The Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI is investigating bomb threats received by several of Donald Trump’s nominees selected for key roles in his new administration.

The spokeswoman of the transition team that is looking after the handover process from the Biden Administration to the incoming Trump Administration confirmed the news about claims made by several of the President-elect’s nominees and appointees about receiving “bomb threats”.

In an official statement, Donald Trump’s transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said “Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them.”
