Pete Buttigieg briefly separated from children as target of ‘politically motivated’ false CPS report, police say

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was briefly separated from his four-year-old twins after an anonymous report was made to Child Protective Services. Michigan State Police confirmed that the report was unsubstantiated and false. Buttigieg stated that the politically motivated incident forced him to spend one night away from his children. Law enforcement and CPS have since verified that the claims against him were entirely baseless, clearing the former official of any wrongdoing regarding the report.
