After receiving allegations of a pipe bomb threat, law enforcement officials went to the residence of Matt Gaetz, a former congressman from Florida who was just nominated for the position of Attorney General in the cabinet of President-elect Donald Trump.

It has been confirmed by the Trump transition team that a number of individuals, including Pete Hegseth, who was offered for the position of Secretary of Veterans Affairs, John Ratcliffe, who was proposed for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security, and Elise Stefanik, who was considered for the position of Secretary of Education, were also the targets of bomb or execution threats. Howard Lutnick, a successful businessman who was selected to serve as Secretary of Commerce, was one of the individuals identified.
