  • The threats come after a presidential campaign that saw Trump was targeted in two assassination attempts. The former president was grazed in the ear during a shooting in Pennsylvania this summer and was subsequently the target in an attempt stopped by the Secret Service at his West Palm Beach Florida golf course.

The article from The Independent discusses a series of swatting incidents targeting high-profile U.S. politicians, including members of Donald Trump's cabinet and other notable figures. Over the past few days, individuals like Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Williams, as well as Senator Rick Scott, have been victims of swatting, where fake emergency calls prompt a heavy police response to their homes. These incidents have also affected Trump's former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker and his family, with bomb threats and swatting calls becoming increasingly common. The FBI is investigating these swatting events, which have been described as a form of intimidation and harassment. The article highlights the growing concern over swatting as a dangerous prank that not only disrupts lives but also poses significant risks to both the targets and responding law enforcement officers.
