0:59Now PlayingFormer Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said his family has been targeted in a “politically motivated hoax” after someone made a false report to Child Protective Services alleging he committed crimes against his children.
“An anonymous caller had contacted CPS,” Buttigieg wrote in a post on Substack. “The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk.”
