FBI: Bomb threats target Trump's cabinet picks

WASHINGTON — Several members of Donald Trump's incoming US administration have received threats including bomb alerts, the FBI said on Wednesday.

The President-elect's picks for UN ambassador and head of the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as his former choice to be US attorney general, said they were among those who had received the threats.

"The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats, and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners," the agency said.
