Outgoing President Joe Biden “has been briefed” on the threats, the White House said.
“The White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and the President-elect’s team, and continues to monitor the situation closely,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
“The president and the administration unequivocally condemn threats of political violence.”
Biden has vowed a smooth and peaceful presidential transition – in contrast to when Trump riled a mob that attacked the US Capitol in January 2021 with false claims of election fraud.
“PRO-PALESTINIAN”
Elise Stefanik, a Trump loyalist congresswoman tapped to be UN ambassador, said her residence in New York was targeted in a bomb threat.
She said in a statement that she, her husband, and her small son were driving home from Washington for the Thanksgiving holiday when they learned of the threat.
Lee Zeldin, Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, said his home was targeted with a pipe bomb threat sent with a “pro-Palestinian themed message”.
The former congressman from New York said he and his family were not home at the time.
