Elise Stefanik, the Republican congresswoman of New York and the president-elect's nomination for US ambassador to the United Nations, who has emerged as a hard right loyalist of Trump in the last few years, was the subject of a bomb threat, her office said.
The home of Howard Lutnick, Trump's nominee for commerce secretary and part of his transition team, was threatened and Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency pick, saw his Long Island home threatened, News 12 reported.
Zeldin later posted on X saying: "A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message." He said that he and his family had not been at home and were trying to find out more.
A report also emerged on CNN that Matt Gaetz had been targeted. The former congressman was Trump's first choice for US attorney general but withdrew after eight days amid a sexual misconduct scandal that meant he risked not being confirmed by the Senate.
