Pete Buttigieg Was Briefly Separated From His Children After Police Say He Was Target of False Report
Michigan State Police and child protective services found the anonymous allegation false after a 24-hour ordeal that kept Buttigieg from his twins.
- Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg reported Friday that an anonymous Child Protective Services allegation forced his 4-year-old twins into forensic interviews this week, though authorities subsequently concluded the report was false.
- Buttigieg wrote on Substack that the incident occurred soon after he shared family photos online, with investigators later telling him an anonymous caller falsely claimed he had confessed to violent crimes during a meeting in Alabama.

- Buttigieg, viewed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate, has long faced anti-LGBTQ attacks. He vowed to pursue legal action, writing, 'if there is any way to press civil or criminal charges over this, we will.
