Schumer said in a statement that local law enforcement received
bomb threats referencing his offices in Rochester, Binghamton
and Long Island with the email subject line “MAGA.”
“Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are
conducting full security sweeps,” Schumer said. “Everyone is
safe, and I am grateful for their quick and professional
response to ensure these offices remain safe and secure for all
New Yorkers.”
A law enforcement source confirmed that Suffolk County police
responded to Schumer’s Long Island office but could not confirm
the details of the threat. The person requested anonymity
because the investigation is ongoing.
The U.S. Capitol Police declined comment, saying they do not
discuss member security for safety reasons.
Schumer said in the statement that “these kinds of violent
threats have absolutely no place in our political system.”
President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to former
President Joe Biden but has falsely claimed since then that it
was “rigged” or “stolen.” But courts dismissed or ruled against
the campaign in dozens of lawsuits and the votes were certified
by election officials in all 50 states.
