Somebody swatted the White House this week, if you can believe that — and, apparently, the prankster actually got first responders to rush over to POTUS’ crib.
According to the Associated Press, a fake 911 call was placed Monday morning in the D.C. area just after 7 AM … and the person who phoned in filed a BS report of a fire breaking out at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., while going on to claim someone was trapped inside.
President Joe Biden and his family were not at the WH this morning, BTW … they were over at Camp David, and not long after — he touched down in Philly for an MLK event later today.
It’s unclear if JB was immediately aware of the swatting attempt — but in any case, it sounds like it worked … ’cause AP reports that the local fire department rushed over to the White House, where they met with Secret Staffers to figure out what the hell was going on.
Of course, none of it was true … something official realized quite quickly. AP says that when the authorities tried calling the number that first called in — the person on the other end denied placing any such call … so the whole thing was just an elaborate practical joke.
Swatting incidents happen to celebs all the time — but it’s stunning D.C. got duped at the most famous residence in the world. You’d think they’d have cams on the place … apparently not!
