Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that her home was ‘swatted’ in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
In a tweet just before 9am, the Donald Trump ally thanked her local police department and promised more information would be revealed.
She did not elaborate further on what kind of operation she says happened.
‘Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am. I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County. More details to come,’ Greene wrote on Twitter.
Her office confirmed that a ‘political attack’ took place on Greene’s home in a statement to DailyMail.com.
‘Right now, Congresswoman Greene’s safety is our number one concern. Late last night, she was a victim of a political attack on her family and home,’ Greene’s office said.
‘Whoever who committed this violent crime will face the full extent of the law.’

Greene promised ‘more details’ on the situation would become public imminently
Greene has led GOP criticism of federal law enforcement in recent weeks ever since the FBI’s unannounced search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
In the early hours of August 8, the FBI executed a search warrant on the Palm Beach mansion in an operation linked to classified documents sought by the National Archives.
Trump’s allies like Greene and GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik decried the raid as a weaponization of the Justice Department and have demanded consequences for Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
It’s prompted criticism from other Republicans who cite federal warnings of an increased wave of violent threats against federal law enforcement workers in the FBI raid’s fallout.
It’s not clear what Greene meant by ‘swatted,’ however, nor if it was the result of a federal operation or anything linked to Trump.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Justice Department and the Rome Police Department for comment.
