Bomb threats have been made at the home of Democratic lawmakers on Thanksgiving Friday

Bomb threats were made to the homes of five Democratic members of Congress in Connecticut, but no explosive devices were found, according to social media platforms and US media.

On Thursday (December 28), the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday, Connecticut Democratic representatives Jim Himes, Jahana Hayes, John Larson and Joe Courtney said in a statement that they had received bomb threats.

"Political violence has no place in our country," Simms said. "I hope we can all enjoy this holiday season peacefully and civilly."

Hayes said police informed her on Thanksgiving morning that they had received an email saying a pipe bomb had been placed in the mailbox of her home, but no bomb or explosives had been found. Police are continuing their investigation.

Connecticut state media said Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut was also the target of a bomb threat.

U.S. Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Levitt, a spokesman for the president-elect's transition team, said in a statement a day earlier that some of Trump's cabinet and federal official nominees had been subjected to bomb threats and prank phone calls.
