Connecticut Attorney General William Tong released a statement regarding a bomb threat made to his home in Stamford Friday morning.
“I want to thank the state and local police and first responders for their professionalism and hard work today in responding to this threat. I am grateful that my family is safe. I am going to continue to do my job fighting for and protecting Connecticut families,” said Attorney General Tong.
Stamford law enforcement and fire officials arrived on the scene before 10:00am.
Stamford Police have yet to release a statement. We will update the story when more information is available.
Recently, AG Tong has joined multiple states’ attorneys general to form coalitions to challenge many initiatives of the Trump administration.
Last week, he joined 20 state attorneys general in filing a “friend of the court,” or amicus brief, to support a lawsuit aiming to block the implementation of President Trump’s executive order banning transgender people from serving in the military.
Also last week, he spoke out against granting Elon Musk and members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to Americans’ private information, including access to the Social Security numbers, bank account information, and other private data of tens of millions of Americans.
This week, he joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general filing an amicus brief urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit to revisit an opinion striking down a Pennsylvania law prohibiting individuals under the age of 21 from carrying concealed weapons in public.
