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.

    Right, you don’t get to dictate how I’m feeling, and what I’m feeling is “frustrated”. That does happen whenever I run into a pack of idiots who aren’t interested in what is, but think they can argue their way around reality. You wanna read anger into anything I’ve written, that is as I said a you problem.

      I never tried to do any such thing. I answered the question you posted. Are you perhaps getting so angry you are confused about which thread you are in?
