The D.C. political world is on edge after the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.

Semafor reporter Burgess Everett posted, “Senate staff just got an alert: “Capitol Police are responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity.””

Bomb Threat at DNC/ From a DNC spokesperson;
“This afternoon, there was a bomb threat to DNC HQ that was determined to not be credible by the U.S. Capitol Police. Out of an abundance of caution, Capitol Police is conducting an interior sweep of the building. As DNC Chair Ken Martin has said, political violence in every form has no place in our country. We are grateful to the U.S. Capitol Police and DNC building security for responding quickly and professionally.”

Statement from US Capitol Police:
“At approximately 1:07 p.m., the USCP Command Center was notified of a potential bomb threat directed towards the Democratic National Committee (DNC). USCP officers immediately responded and are currently checking the building and surrounding areas. So far nothing has been found outside. We are checking inside of the building out of an abundance of caution.”
