"Federal Officials, Including Special Counsel Jack Smith, Targeted in Holiday 'Swatting' Incidents"

Special counsel Jack Smith was targeted with a swatting call at his Maryland home on Christmas Day, but authorities quickly determined there was no threat. Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate election interference and mishandling of classified documents, is not the only federal official to have been targeted by swatting incidents recently. The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal election interference case, Tanya Chutkan, was also a victim of swatting at her Washington, D.C., home.
