Some members of Donald Trump's incoming administration reported getting bomb threats, the FBI said Wednesday, with one alleging a pro-Palestine message attached.

"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," according to a statement from the agency.

Swatting is a procedure in which police are summoned to someone's home under false pretenses. Such fake calls are widespread in the United States, where several important political leaders have been targeted in recent years.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump's transition team, has previously stated that numerous appointments and candidates "were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them."

Elise Stefanik, the pro-"Israel" pick for UN ambassador, says her New York home was targeted in a bomb threat. 

Lee Zeldin, Trump's nominee to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency, says his home was targeted with a pipe bomb threat alleging a "pro-Palestinian themed message," stating that he and his family were not present at the time.

Unidentified sources told Fox News Digital that John Ratcliffe, Trump's choice to lead the CIA, and Pete Hegseth, his option for defense secretary, were also targeted.

Before returning to the House in January, Trump quickly constructed a cabinet of supporters, including those who have been chastised for their lack of expertise.

Back in September,  a US Secret Service spokesperson said in a news conference that we live in "danger times" following an attempt to assassinate former president Donald Trump.

Concerns over security intensified further after a second assassination attempt targeting Trump occurred at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
