Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of the leftist Judge Engoron.
Judge Engoron is overseeing President Trump’s New York fraud case.
This is another case of a political figure being swatted by an unknown person.
If you don’t know, swatting is when a person calls in a fake threat to have the police or swat respond.
Usually, this results in nothing serious; however, it’s dangerous, and people have died due to it.
While this case might be in response to the handling of President Trump’s case, Republicans such as MTG have also been swatted.
The Hill shares more:
Authorities responded to a bomb threat at the home of the judge overseeing former President Trump’s New York civil fraud case Thursday, just hours closing arguments are expected in the trial.
A court official confirmed to The Associated Press that police were looking into a threat at Judge Arthur Engoron’s home on Long Island.
“There was a threat. I can confirm a bomb threat,” Al Baker, a court spokesperson, said, per the AP. “As of now we are going forward as scheduled and the court proceedings and closing arguments are going ahead as planned.”
Baker told The Hill the court has had security protocols in place since the beginning of proceedings and will continue with added layers of security out of an abundance of caution.
The New York Attorney General’s Office and Baker also confirmed the court expects the trial to continue as planned.
The Nassau County Police Department told The Hill it responded to a “swatting incident” in Great Neck Gardens but did not confirm the name of the resident.
No matter how much you dislike a person, calling in a fake emergency is never right.
Judge Engoron was the target of swatting.
Let me say this again publicly:
I do not condone swatting of anyone. It is dangerous and could result in someone losing their life over a stupid prank.
Not to mention wasting law enforcement resources knowing they’d find nothing.

Some people believe that President Trump is behind this himself:
BREAKING: A bomb threat was made at the house of Arthur Engoron, the judge overseeing Trump’s bank fraud trial in New York, just hours before its final hearing on Thursday.
Who thinks Judge Engoron should BLOCK Trump from social media? pic.twitter.com/fKTSiJ1x3C

This is, of course, ridiculous.
As I said previously, it is not just Democrats who are experiencing this.
Many political figures seem to be at the moment.
NBC News shares more:
Engoron is presiding over a bench trial in the $370 million lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Trump, the Trump Organization and top executives, including Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., in 2022 after a yearslong investigation into their business practices. Because there is no jury in the trial, Engoron will issue a ruling and any penalties.
Engoron and James have become the target of attacks by Trump and his allies. The judge in October issued a partial gag order on Trump after he made disparaging remarks about Engoron’s law clerk on social media and to the news media. The former president was fined twice for violating the gag order. Engoron expanded the gag order in November to also include Trump’s lawyers.
Trump appealed the gag order, arguing that was unconstitutional. But a state appeals court reinstated it, arguing that it was necessary due to the “deluge” of threats directed at the clerk after Trump had taken aim at her on social media.
The media portrayal of President Trump as this horrible person has awoken many to their bias.
The people can see President Trump is a great man through his actions.
Come to the 2024 presidential election, Democrats will once again be amazed at how President Trump won the presidency.
As we all know, they had a hand in awakening the public.
