Police have confirmed that they responded to false reports of a shooting at the home of the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election interference case, Tanya Chutkan. Police have also confirmed that Chutkan was home when they arrived at her residence.

This incident occurs after Chutkan has already received multiple threats and racist comments from individuals in several different states.
