Bomb Threat at Pope Leo's Brother's Home

0:00It's April 16th. Welcome in. This is U.S. News Today, where national headlines meet AI. Police in a Chicago suburb checked out a bomb threat at the home of Louis Prevost, the brother of Pope Leo, the first American-born pontiff. Officers rode up around 6.30 p.m. on Wednesday, locked down the area, and cleared it after a full sweep. No explosives anywhere. K-9 units from the local sheriff's office helped search the property and surroundings, confirming it was all clear with zero hazards. Nearby folks got evacuated just to be safe, but everyone was back home quick with no one hurt. This drops right in the middle of a heated clash between President Trump and the Pope. Trump went off on social media this week, slamming Pope Leo as week on crime and bad for foreign policy over his takes on the Iran War. Then shouted, out-luis as a true Maga guy who gets it. Still push back, saying his peace calls come straight from Catholic roots, not politics.

1:00Officials aren't linking the threat to any of this drama yet. Cops are still hunting for who made the call, stressing fake bomb reports are no joke and could mean charges. With the spotlight on the Pope's family, this intense, expect more eyes on the case as it unfolds.
