Trump fraud trial judge home was swatting target, police say
Police are investigating a swatting incident at the New York home of the judge set to hear closing arguments later Thursday morning in the business fraud trial of former President Donald Trump. It is the second time in days that a swatting attempt has been made against a judge handling a case involving Trump. Swatting involves false claims of violence or other incidents at other people's homes or businesses to get police to swarm those locations. An email making a threat to the Long Island home of Judge Arthur Engoron was sent to a local newspaper, Nassau County Police told CNBC on Thursday morning. The newspaper called police at 5:30 a.m. ET to relay the threat, police said. Of
