WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Six Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut have been targeted by bomb threats on their homes. Sen. Chris Murphy and all five House members — Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Rosa DeLauro — reported being the subject of such threats Thursday. Police who responded said they found no evidence of explosives on the lawmakers’ properties. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal told reporters Friday he did not receive a bomb threat on Thursday but was targeted as recently as a couple weeks ago. On Wednesday, a number of President-elect Donald Trump’s most prominent Cabinet picks and appointees reported that they had received such threats.
