Michigan Attorney General Investigates Swatting Incident Involving Buttigieg

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has launched an investigation into a swatting incident involving former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The false report claimed Buttigieg had committed violent crimes, prompting an investigation that was later confirmed to be baseless. The attorney general's office is treating this as a potential felony, emphasizing the seriousness of such malicious acts and the risk of copycat incidents targeting public figures.
