Jack Smith, the special counsel, probably had an incredible Christmas.
Smith, who is in charge of two federal criminal prosecutions involving former President Donald Trump, was the target of an attempted “swatting” at his Maryland home on December 25th, according to NBC News.

According to law enforcement officials, Smith is accused of shooting his wife in a phone call that was placed to the police.
Two patrol cars from Montgomery County police were dispatched to the residence right away. Deputy U.S. marshals, who were in charge of Smith’s protection, ordered them to reschedule their visit.
There have been no arrests in connection with the incident as of Tuesday afternoon.
Smith was the target of a Christmas attack, according to ABC News and other media.
According to Business Insider, “swatting” is the process by which a person submits a “false report to the police to make them startle, arrest, or even harm an unsuspecting victim.”
“People who call in these swatting attempts usually tell the police that the victim is a violent criminal or is holding hostages,” the outlet said. “These sorts of reports cause police to act quickly, usually without verifying the report, to stop the supposed criminal as fast as possible.”
“Swatting gets its name from the special weapons and tactics (SWAT) division of police — the sort of police units usually called in to deal with active shooters and similar situations,” it said.
The Christmas event was most likely a product of the contentious political environment that pervaded America.

Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned Smith to oversee a criminal probe into the former president in November 2022.
He revealed two charges against Trump last year: one concerning his alleged involvement in the Capitol intrusion on January 6, 2021, and his protest of the 2020 election; the other included claims that he improperly handled secret materials after leaving office.
The former president has consistently refuted every accusation made against him and charged Smith with conducting a politically driven “witch hunt” to harm his chances of winning the presidency in 2024.
President Trump made fun of Smith on Truth Social last month after the Supreme Court rejected his request to expedite the case regarding electoral meddling ahead of the November presidential election.
“The Supreme Court has unanimously rejected Deranged Jack Smith’s desperate attempt to short circuit our Great Constitution,” He posted on December 22.
“Crooked Joe Biden and his henchmen waited three years to bring this sham case, and now they have tried and failed to rush this Witch Hunt through the courts.”
Over the holidays, Smith wasn’t the only person to receive a swatted.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, was also singled out at her Rome, Georgia, home on Christmas.
Police were called to the New York residence of left-wing billionaire George Soros on December 30 in response to a distress call. The caller said that ninety-three-year-old Soros had hurt his wife and was thinking of hurting himself.
