Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said that her local police department received an emailed bomb threat targeting her Monday but that she is safe.

“The Rome Police Department’s Assistant Chief of Police received an email containing a bomb threat directed towards me. I’m so grateful to every member of the Rome Police Department for your swift and professional response in ensuring my safety,” Greene said on X.

Greene’s office said in a statement that Greene’s local police department in Rome, Georgia, dispatched its bomb squad to her home to ensure there was no danger. Greene included a video in her post on X of what appeared to be a member of the bomb squad checking her mailbox for an explosive device.

Rome police spokesperson Kelly Madden said the department deployed the multiagency Floyd County Bomb Squad to Greene's home and turned the investigation over to the FBI after it ruled out an immediate danger. The FBI confirmed that it was assisting with the investigation.

"We have no further information at this time, as it is an ongoing investigation," it said in a statement. "The FBI remains vigilant and continues to work closely with our state and local partners to mitigate threats to the public, including threats to specific persons."
