Trump fraud trial judge home was swatting target, police say

Police are investigating a swatting incident at the New York home of a judge scheduled to hear closing arguments in the business fraud trial involving former President Donald Trump. An email making a threat to the judge’s home was reported to the police. This incident follows similar swatting calls made about the homes of the Department of Justice special counsel and the judge presiding over a criminal case against Trump. Closing arguments in Trump’s civil fraud trial are set to begin, and the judge denied a request by Trump’s lawyer to allow the former president to give some of the defense’s closing arguments.
