Chaos erupted this week as multiple individuals selected for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s potential cabinet faced violent threats, including bomb scares and dangerous 'swatting' pranks. 🌍🔍
Transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed the incidents, calling them 'violent, un-American threats' targeting nominees’ lives and families. Law enforcement swiftly intervened, though specifics about the targets remain under wraps.
💥 What’s Swatting? It’s a dangerous hoax where fake emergency calls trigger heavily armed police responses—like a real-life horror movie plot. This time, Trump allies like incoming White House chief Susie Wiles and ex-Florida AG Pam Bondi were reportedly among those targeted.
President Joe Biden’s team condemned the threats, emphasizing zero tolerance for political violence. The incidents follow July’s assassination attempt on Trump and a September case where a man allegedly stalked his Florida golf club with a rifle. 🔫
While no injuries were reported, the threats highlight rising tensions ahead of the 2024 election cycle. Stay tuned for updates as investigations unfold. 📰✨
