WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Several of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet and administration picks were targeted this week with actions including bomb threats and "swatting," a spokesperson for the transition team said on Wednesday.

The FBI said the incidents were aimed at numerous people tapped for roles in the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Multiple Democratic lawmakers from Connecticut said they were targeted by bomb threats at their homes on Thanksgiving Day. U.S. Reps. Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, John Larson and Joe Courtney said they were notified of bomb threats targeting their homes Thursday,
