All but one of the seven U.S. House and Senate Democrats from Connecticut, including the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Thursday they were the targets of bomb threats. Why it matters: The development comes after a spate of bomb and "swatting" threats against President-elect Trump's nominees earlier this week – none of which were found to be credible.

At least six Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut were targeted by bomb threats on their homes Thursday, the lawmakers or their offices said.

Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Rosa DeLauro — reported being the subject of such threats. Police who responded said they found no evidence of explosives on the lawmakers’ properties.
