The office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Monday that she has opened an investigation into an incident last month where former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a high-profile Democratic Party figure and a potential 2028 presidential hopeful, said that authorities were called to his house over false allegations that temporarily led to him being separated from his two children.
"The Department of Attorney General has opened an investigation into this malicious act not only to look into the potential unlawful conduct but also to mitigate the risk that this act could trigger copy-cat acts against other well-known residents and elected officials as the newest form of threat or intimidation," a spokesperson for the Michigan attorney general's office wrote in a statement.
Authorities were called to Buttigieg's Traverse City, Michigan, house over false allegations, in what he said seemed to be an effort to target him politically, he said in a blog post on July 1.
Buttigieg wrote that he later found out from police while being interviewed that someone who claimed to have met him at a conference had said that Buttigieg had told her he had "committed unspeakable violent crimes," and so his children were at risk.
It resulted, Buttigieg said, in being told he could not be around his 4-year-old twins unsupervised until the children were interviewed by authorities without any family present.
Michigan State Police later confirmed that the anonymous report from the person was false.
In a Monday statement, the Michigan attorney general's office said that "common sense would have shown that this targeted report plainly lacked credibility on its face."

Adriane Peterson had to sit out of the NFL for a year for having a baby-mama that accused him of giving his son a swat on the rear-end with a stick. It might have been more than one swat, and he might have had his son go find a stick that wouldn’t break, and it was a heterosexual relationship he was having with one of his baby-mamas.
Agree.
Full term for attempted murder and first degree murder if anyone dies.
What we need to do most of all is get rid of ‘no knock’ raids for any case where it is not 100 percent certain that hostages are being held.
The damage to our Constitutional rights, and the damage to citizens who rightfully repel unannounced searches (meaning ANY search where the victim doesn’t have a chance to ask to see the warrant) exceeds by orders of magnitude any damage to society done by the possible destruction of evidence
I’m shooting anyone without a warrant who attempts ingress without permission or a warrant, everyone should, better to die naked and armed than live as a terrified serf.
It was a fake report. The person calling it in was lying.
Probably designed to make conservatives look bad. We all need to condemn these types of lies. If it’s our side who did it we should condemn that person. If it was a fake hate crime done to help Buttigieg look like a victim that needs to ne outed and condemned too. If it was commies trying to stir the pot - that should be condemned.
As a youth, I’ll disagree. Gays should adopt older kids ( 9 and above), my gay friend adopted a sibling group who were unadoptable because no one wanted 4 kids...

He should NEVER be allowed to be around children!
Nor should any other homosexual!
