US President Joe Biden said that his administration is working with the FBI. In particular, to respond to threats against the team of President-elect Donald Trump, reports Reuters.
The agency writes that this week, lawmakers and several members of US President-elect Donald Trump's team received threats of force and explosive devices.
Thus, a member of the team of representatives, Seth Magaziner, said on Friday that his house was threatened to be blown up. This happened the day after six Democratic lawmakers from Connecticut reported similar threats during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for US Secretary of Defense, and Lee Zeldin, the US President-elect's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, were also among the candidates who received bomb threats on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Also during Thanksgiving on Friday, Joe Biden said that he expects to speak with Donald Trump again during the transition period.
In early November, the US Department of Justice announced that Iran was preparing to assassinate Donald Trump. In particular, the relevant order was given to an Iranian on October 7, 2024, which he told law enforcement agencies about.
