Investigation Unveils Alleged Swatting Calls Mastermind
Recent reports from legacy media outlets reveal that the FBI has identified a person of interest connected to over 100 swatting incidents, including calls targeting high-profile individuals such as Alejandro Mayorkas and Jen Easterly from the Biden administration.
Alleged Connection to Serbia
According to sources, the individual of interest is believed to reside in Serbia. While no formal charges have been filed yet, insiders suggest that legal action is imminent. The suspect stands accused of orchestrating the swatting calls specifically during the Christmas holidays, with officials as the primary targets.
CBS News reported that the U.S. Secret Service and FBI conducted a search at the suspect’s residence in Serbia, seizing electronic devices as potential evidence of the alleged crimes. Additionally, the chief of staff for Rep. Brandon Williams, a Republican from New York who fell victim to a swatting incident, confirmed that a “foreign national living overseas” has been linked to the case.
Past Swatting Incidents
An earlier CBS report highlighted a swatting episode affecting Rep. Brandon Williams, which took place on December 25. The incident, characterized as a hoax, disrupted the Congressman’s Christmas morning festivities.
Rep. Williams recounted how a false emergency call prompted law enforcement to respond to his residence in Auburn, New York, causing unnecessary distress for him and his family. Despite the timely intervention of deputies who recognized the situation as a hoax, the swatting incident tarnished the holiday spirit. Williams suspects that the attacks might stem from dissenting opinions expressed in his political endeavors.
The malicious acts of swatting extend beyond Rep. Williams, as several members of Congress, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, reported similar harassment. In a social media post, Rep. Greene disclosed that the Christmas swatting was the eighth such incident targeting her residence.
I was just swatted.
This is like the 8th time.
On Christmas with my family here.
My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this.
I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) December 25, 2023
When approached for comments on the ongoing investigations, CISA, the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Justice Department opted not to provide any official statements.
