House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday called for "maximum protection" for members of Congress and their families in response to a series of bomb threats around Thanksgiving. Why it matters: Nearly the entire Connecticut congressional delegation faced bomb threats on Thursday following a spate of similar threats targeting Trump administration appointees.

Most of Connecticut's congressional delegation said they were the subject of bomb threats at their homes as they were preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving, although no bombs ultimately were found.
