Congress is Rattled by a Surge in Safety Threats Aimed at Lawmakers

Rep. Seth Magaziner wasn’t overly concerned about a bomb threat he received at his home over the Thanksgiving holiday because it was “so obviously fake.”

The Democrat from Rhode Island said it was written to look like it came from one of Donald Trump’s supporters, but he doesn’t necessarily believe that’s the case — he thinks they may never know who sent it — and said “it’s important not to jump to conclusions.”

But it is, he thinks, reflective of the political times.
