NextImg:All Clear: FBI Update About Wednesday Bomb Threats of 9 State Capitols Says It Was Hoax

Nearly a dozen state capitols had a rude awakening early Wednesday, when they received emailed bomb threats. The threats "briefly disrupted government affairs," and prompted some of the nine capitols to be evacuated. But authorities now say that searches yielded no explosives, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has "dismissed the threats as a hoax."

Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi and Montana were among the states that evacuated statehouse offices or buildings.

The FBI said it was aware of numerous hoax bomb threats at state Capitol buildings, but had “no information to indicate a specific and credible threat.” The bureau said it was working with state, local and federal law enforcement to gather, share and act on information.

The fake bomb scares across the country come in the wake of numerous, recent "swatting" attempts--a favored intimidation tactic of radical leftists--on Republican politicians over the Christmas holiday, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Rick Scott, and Rep. Brandon Williams. Then after George Washington law professor and legal analyst, Jonathan Turley criticized the swatting, he was also swatted.

But the horrendous ploy was also perpetrated against citizens who aren't even in the public eye. Back in late October 2023, we wrote about a man who organized the Harvard "doxxing truck" suffering a similar incident at his home in Florida.
