Agents from the US Secret Service and the FBI conducted a search of a foreign national’s residence in Serbia, labeling the individual as a “person of interest” connected to more than 100 “swatting” calls that targeted American politicians and government officials including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other Biden Administration officials, CBS News reports. American investigators seized computers and other electronics in the raid.
A representative for New York Republican Congressman Brandon Williams, who was the victim of a swatting call at his home on Christmas Day, said Williams was notified that a “foreign national living overseas” was identified in connection with his incident and others.
