Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Mass., said Saturday that she and her family had been targeted by a bomb threat and that local police are working with the U.S. Capitol Police to investigate the incident.
“This morning, I was made aware of a bomb threat targeting my family and me.
Breault said the state police's bomb squad did not find a device and cleared the residence for safety.
The Capitol Police and the Massachusetts State Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The threat against Trahan comes a week after several members of Congress and some of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks were targeted with bomb threats and swatting incidents.
