President Joe Biden announced that his administration is collaborating with the FBI to investigate recent bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting lawmakers and several of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees. Democratic lawmakers, including Seth Magaziner from Rhode Island, reported bomb threats at their homes, with no explosives found. This follows similar threats against Trump’s nominees, including Pete Hegseth and Lee Zeldin. Swatting involves false reports to provoke a heavy police response, and it is increasingly used against public figures. Biden stated he plans to speak with Trump during the transition period.
