"The top Democrat in the United States Senate, Chuck Schumer, has said that three of his New York state offices were targeted with emailed bomb threats alleging the 2020 election was rigged. In a statement on social media, Schumer said that local law enforcement on Monday received bomb threats referencing his offices in Rochester, Binghamton and Long Island with the email subject line MAGA."
"US President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden, but has falsely maintained since then that the vote was rigged or stolen. The claim, which is not backed by evidence, was a key message of Trump's successful 2024 presidential run. Courts across the country have dismissed or ruled against the Trump campaign and its allies in dozens of lawsuits."
Three New York state offices of Senator Chuck Schumer were referenced in emailed bomb threats asserting the 2020 election was rigged, with the subject line MAGA. Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and conducted full security sweeps; officials reported that everyone was safe. Suffolk County police on Long Island responded to one area office, while a source declined to confirm threat details and requested anonymity. US Capitol Police declined to comment on member security. Schumer condemned political violence and said no public servant or constituent should be targeted for doing their job. Courts and state officials certified the 2020 results.
