The emails with the threats said “MAGA” in the subject line – the acronym for US President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. The emails also suggested that the 2020 presidential election, in which Democrat Joe Biden won, was manipulated – a recurring accusation from Trump. Schumer thanked security authorities, saying all offices were safe and no one was injured.
Trump repeatedly targets Schumer, one of his harsh critics. A few days ago, at a ceremony for the big American family celebration of Thanksgiving, where he traditionally pardoned two turkeys, he again attacked the Democrat. Trump explained that when he first saw pictures of the turkeys, he wanted to name them Chuck and Nancy – a reference to Democrats Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. “But then I realized that I would never pardon her.” (sda/dpa)
