<p>Republican Tim Burchett was targeted with a bomb threat at his Tennessee home, The Daily Wire has learned.</p>
<p>A source familiar with the matter said that the congressman&#8217;s Tennessee home was threatened on Monday, and that law enforcement visited the congressman. A spokesman for the Knox County Sheriff&#8217;s Office confirmed to The Daily Wire that the sheriff&#8217;s office received a threat to Burchett&#8217;s home but that the threat is considered &#8220;unfounded at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;However, there is an ongoing investigation,&#8221; she added, &#8220;therefore, I am not at liberty to discuss the nature of the threat.&#8221;</p>
<p>The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement to The Daily Wire: “Anytime a Member of Congress is the victim of a &#8216;swatting&#8217; incident, we work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners. To protect ongoing investigations and to minimize the risk of copy-cats, we cannot provide more details at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>News of the threat comes after several of Donald Trump&#8217;s cabinet nominees and administration appointees <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-picks-targeted-in-violent-unamerican-threats">were targeted with dangerous threats</a> in swatting incidents during Thanksgiving week, including Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York, Agriculture Department nominee Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Labor nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Department of Housing and Urban Development nominee Scott Turner, and former Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz.</p>

<p>“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,&#8221; Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement in late November. &#8220;These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.&#8221;</p>
<p>The FBI similarly said at the time that it was aware of &#8221; numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement,&#8221; the FBI statement added.</p>
<p>And Trump&#8217;s son, Donald Trump Jr. <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1861815126413779427">said in a post on X at the time</a>: &#8220;The violent left has been calling in bomb threats and swatting incoming members of the Trump Administration. Enough is enough with this type of deranged crap!&#8221;</p>
