Police were dispatched toward Smith’s residence but were called off when they learned it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in two federal cases, was the target of an attempted swatting at his Maryland residence on Christmas Day.
According to two law enforcement sources, someone called 911 and said that Smith had shot his wife at the address where Smith lives.
Montgomery County Police dispatched units toward the home but were called off when the Deputy U.S. Marshals protecting Smith and his family told police that it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
How the fuck can swatting work on such a high profile person? Should we all be swatting Trump himself 24/7?
“Hello 911, there’s a black man disguised as a bloated ex-president breaking in to my home! He’s heavily armed and he’s speaking arabic!”
It clearly didn’t.
Came too close to working if you ask me, but ok.
