The majority of Connecticut’s congressional delegation, including the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said they were the target of bomb threats on Thursday. 

Reps. Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, Joe Courtney and John Larson and Sen. Chris Murphy, five of the seven members of Connecticut’s congressional delegation, announced in statements that their homes were the targets of bomb threats. 

The threats against the lawmakers follow bomb and swatting threats made against President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees earlier this week. 

Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Mr. Trump’s pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Rep. Lori Chavez-Deremer of Oregon, his nominee for labor secretary; former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York, Mr. Trump’s choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency; and Pete Hegseth, whom he wants to be defense secretary, were the targeted nominees.

None of the threats against Republicans was proven credible or tangible, and that was also the case for those against Democrats. 

A spokesperson for Mr. Murphy said in a statement to The Washington Times that the senator’s home was the target of a bomb threat, “which appears to be part of a coordinated effort involving multiple members of Congress and public figures,” but no evidence of a bomb was found.

Mr. Himes, the top Democrat on the House intelligence panel, said in a statement that he was notified Thursday of a bomb threat targeting his home, where he was celebrating Thanksgiving with his family.

“Thankfully, after a swift and thorough response from the United States Capitol Police, the Greenwich Police Department and the Stamford Police Department, no evidence of a bomb was found,” he said. 

Similarly, a spokesperson for Mr. Courtney said the lawmaker’s home was targeted while he and his family were at home to celebrate the holiday and that no evidence of a bomb was found on their property.

Ms. Hayes said in a statement that local police received a “threatening email stating a pipe bomb had been placed in the mailbox at my home,” but no bomb or explosive materials were discovered when law enforcement investigated the scene. 

“I thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this matter,” Ms. Hayes said. “Their actions demonstrate there is no place in our country for political violence.” 

Mr. Larson received a similar threat, and like the others, law enforcement did not find any traces of a bomb on his property. 

“I am grateful that my colleagues in the Connecticut congressional delegation, who received similar threats, are also safe,” Mr. Larson said in a statement.

The Washington Times reached out to Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Rosa DeLauro’s offices on whether they too were targets of bomb threats.
