Trump fraud trial judge home was swatting target, police say

Police are investigating a swatting incident at the home of a judge set to hear closing arguments in the business fraud trial of a former President. An email making a threat to the judge’s home was sent to a local newspaper. The threat comes after swatting calls were made about the homes of a Department of Justice special counsel and another judge presiding over a criminal case involving the former President. Swatting involves false claims of violence to get the police to respond. Closing arguments in the fraud trial are set to begin in court later.
