Sen. Elissa Slotkin receives bomb threat after urging military to `refuse illegal orders`

Michigan State Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a spokesperson from her office said in a statement on Friday. The threat comes after President Donald Trump accused her and other Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" that was "punishable by death."

In a statement posted to X, a spokesperson from Slotkin`s office said that the senator "wasn`t home at the time" and that Michigan State Police "searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger."

Slotkin`s office and Michigan State Police did not immediately respond to requests for further details on the incident.

The bomb threat comes after Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA, and several other Democratic lawmakers, including those who are former service members, had posted a video this week urging military and intelligence officers to "refuse illegal orders" from the Trump administration.

Trump on Thursday had responded to the video by calling for the arrest of Slotkin and others for "seditious behavior," which he said was "punishable by death."

Trump had also re-posted threats from other users on Truth Social that said, "Hang them George Washington would."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Trump did not want to execute members of Congress, but defended the president`s comments by accusing the lawmakers of "encouraging" service members and those working to ensure national security "to defy the president`s lawful orders."

Slotkin has defended the video, writing on X Tuesday: "This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution - not a king."

Slotkin told NBC News Thursday that she had additional protection from law enforcement, saying, "Capitol Police is now with me 24/7."

Slotkin also responded to Trump`s comments during an MS NOW interview on Thursday, saying: "Leadership climate is set from the top and if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn`t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse."

The bomb threat at Slotkin`s residence comes after Indiana state Sen. Greg Goode was the victim of a swatting incident on Sunday. That happened shortly after Trump took aim at him and other state lawmakers for failing to act on demands from the president and his allies to redraw the state`s congressional map as part of a broad effort to pick up more House seats and widen Republicans` majority in the lower chamber next year.
