A series of "swatting" incidents against prominent conservatives has FBI Director Kash Patel sounding the alarm -- and promising action. In a Friday statement on X, Patel said that the FBI's team was "fully committed to working with local law enforcement" on solving the crimes and punishing those responsible.

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday condemned a rise in swatting calls directed at major conservative figures. Social media influencer Gunther Eagleman, radio host Joe Pagliarulo, and Infowars' Chase Geiser each claimed to be among a slew of figures who were victims of false swatting calls this week.
