"Swatting Attempts Target Key Figures in Trump 2020 Election Case"

Special counsel Jack Smith and U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, involved in the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump, were targeted in apparent "swatting" attempts, with false reports of shootings prompting law enforcement responses to their homes. The FBI has warned about the dangers and costs of such incidents, which have also affected other public figures. Chutkan, who is overseeing the case against Trump, previously received a threatening voicemail and is now dealing with bomb threats to state capitols, while the trial is set to begin in March.
