"This morning, I was informed by law enforcement entities throughout New York of multiple bomb threats that were made at my offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island with the email subject line MAGA' and from an email address alleging the 2020 election was rigged,' Schumer's statement said. It continued: Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps."
"Schumer added that law enforcement conducted security sweeps, and that everyone at the offices was reported safe. U.S. Capitol Police declined to comment on lawmaker security.

Trump has also referred to Schumer as a Palestinian and proud member of Hamas."
"As I have said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system. No oneno public servant, no staff member, no constituent, no citizenshould ever be targeted for simply doing their job."
Three offices of Senator Chuck Schumer in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island received multiple bomb threats delivered via email with the subject line 'MAGA' and allegations that the 2020 election was rigged. Local and federal law enforcement responded, conducted full security sweeps, and reported everyone at the offices safe. Schumer condemned the violent threats as having no place in the political system and said no public servant, staff member, constituent, or citizen should be targeted for doing their job. The U.S. Capitol Police declined to comment on lawmaker security. The report notes prior public attacks and insults by President Donald Trump toward Schumer and recent accusations of seditious behavior against Democratic lawmakers.
