Hunter Biden laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac’s home ‘swatted’
The Delaware computer repairman who went public with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop says his home was “swatted” Friday night.
“My home was swatted tonight, I was not home but the outstanding men and women of the Wilmington PD responded quickly and professionally,” John Paul Mac Isaac posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, on Dec. 29. “All that was achieved was the wasted time of the Wilmington PD. NOTHING, let me repeat that, NOTHING will take me out of this fight! Cheers!”
Swatting is the act of making a false report to emergency services to prompt a response at a particular address.
The goal is to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to show up.
The Wilmington Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for information about the swatting call at Mac Isaac’s home.
Hundreds of swatting cases occur annually, with some using caller ID spoofing to disguise their number.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows have been among the recent victims, AP states.
