FBI Director Kash Patel says the agency is investigating a recent spike in swatting incidents after several conservative media figures said they were targeted.

Swatting is when a person attempts to send armed law enforcement to another person’s house over a fake incident, which has led to deadly consequences in the past.

In January , lawmakers introduced a bipartisan and bicameral bill to impose "strict penalties" for people who make swatting calls.
