马萨诸塞州众议员Lori Trahan周六表示，她的家人和住所收到了炸弹威胁。她说，没有人受伤，韦斯特福德警察局、美国国会大厦警方和马萨诸塞州警方都在调查这一威胁。
特拉汉在一份声明中说:“现在是说出真相的好时机:暴力威胁和恐吓在我们的国家没有立足之地。”。
对特拉汉的威胁是在几名民主党成员收到对其家人的类似威胁一周后发出的。
代表康涅狄格州各区的众议员乔·考特尼、贾哈纳·海斯、吉姆·希姆斯和约翰·拉森说，他们的家在感恩节遭到袭击。康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲(Chris Murphy)、罗德岛州参议员谢尔登·怀特豪斯(Sheldon Whitehouse)和同样来自罗德岛州的众议员塞思·马加津纳(Seth Magaziner)表示，他们上周成为炸弹威胁的目标
当局称，没有发现炸弹，当选官员和他们的家人都没有受伤。
对威胁的调查正在进行中。
当选总统特朗普的一些内阁成员也是如此定向的上周受到威胁。
调查人员正在调查特朗普挑选的美国驻联合国大使埃利斯·斯特凡尼克(Elise Stefanik)收到的炸弹威胁;布鲁克·罗林斯，特朗普挑选的农业部长;前国会议员李·泽尔丁被特朗普任命为环保局局长;还有皮特·海格塞斯，特朗普挑选的国防部长。
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯和总统乔·拜登谴责了上周的威胁。
杰弗里斯上周在一份声明中说:“众议院民主党人不会因暴力威胁而被阻止或恐吓为人民服务。”
Massachusetts congresswoman says family was targeted with a bomb threat
A Democratic member of Congress has become the latest victim ofincreased threatsagainst federal lawmakers in the last two weeks.
Rep. Lori Trahan of Massachusetts said Saturday that her family and home received a bomb threat. No one was harmed and the Westford Police Department, U.S. Capitol Police and the Massachusetts State Police are all investigating the threat, she said.
"It’s a good time to say the obvious: threats of violence and intimidation have no place in our country," Trahan said in a statement.
The threat against Trahan came a week after several Democratic members received similar threats against their families.
Reps. Joe Courtney, Jahana Hayes, Jim Himes and John Larson, who all represent districts in Connecticut, said their homes were targeted on Thanksgiving. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Seth Magaziner, also of Rhode Island, said they were targets of bomb threats last week
No bombs were found and none of the elected officials nor their families were hurt, authorities said.
The investigations into the threats are ongoing.
Some of President-elect Trump's cabinet selections were alsotargetedwith threats last week.
Investigators are looking into bomb threats sent to Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump's pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Brooke Rollins, Trump’s pick for agriculture secretary; Lee Zeldin, the former congressman Trump has tapped to lead the EPA; and Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for defense secretary.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and President Joe Biden condemned last week's threats.
"House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the people by violent threats," Jeffries said in a statement last week.
