The warnings that the Trump Cabinet nominees and other appointees faced "ranged from bomb threats to 'swatting,'" according to Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Sources told Fox News Digital that John Ratcliffe, the nominee to be CIA director; Pete Hegseth, the nominee for secretary of defense; and Rep. Elise Stefanik, the nominee for UN ambassador, were among those targeted. Brooke Rollins, who Trump has tapped to be secretary of agriculture, and Lee Zeldin, Trump's nominee to be EPA administrator, separately revealed they were also targeted.
