Bomb Threat Called into Democratic National Committee Headquarters

The Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. has been swarmed by police after a bomb threat was reportedly called in.

Burgess Everett — a longtime reporter with Politico — broke the news Thursday morning that Senate staff received an alert about Capitol Police responding to an incident at the DNC. Sources with knowledge confirmed to us Capitol Police are responding to a bomb threat at the building.

However, David Weigel, a reporter for Semafor, later cited a DNC spokesperson who said the bomb threat was “determined to not be credible by the U.S. Capitol Police” … however, they stayed to conduct an interior sweep of the building out of an abundance of caution.

As you know … this threat comes on the 24th anniversary of 9/11 — and, just one day after conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was gunned down at Utah Valley University in Orem.

Kirk was shot in the neck while speaking at the school Wednesday … and, while he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, he ultimately didn’t survive.

The shooting stoked political tension online … with many mourning Kirk while a vocal few were less sympathetic to the controversial commentator. However, it’s unlcear if Kirk’s death in any way influenced the bomb threat.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously … while speaking outside the Pentagon on the 24th anniversary of 9/11.
