Fox News national correspondent Alexis McAdams reports on the Butler shooting case as former Deputy Asst. Attorney General John Yoo reacts to a new report on Thomas Crooks’ online activity. (Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) New details emerging about the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The White House says Americans need to know what happened, and so does the president. There are so many questions out there. And I mean, you know, did he act alone, et cetera? And it's, you know, it's over a year, it's 16 months now....

The Biden Federal Bureau of Investigation did the unthinkable as every agency and Congress were investigating the circumstances that led to the assassination attempt of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July. Actually, no—it’s totally on par with how this agency acted under the half-dead former president. They straight-up withheld evidence from Congress about the would-be assassin Thomas Crooks. It’s another chapter in this shambolic investigation, where Crooks’ body was cremated rather quickly and the roof scrubbed clean before any significant forensic analysis could be done. It’s why Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) wants a new probe into the incident (via...

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) was hit with a federal indictment Wednesday, accusing her of stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to support her 2021 congressional campaign. Cherfilus-McCormick, who has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee since December 2023, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami and faces up to 53 years in prison if convicted. Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain....

Don't you think if 2 violent assassins were into http://GlennBeck.com subculture, the media and the FBI would be all over that?!(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) Independent researchers now are using the same kind of digital forensic tools that the feds have and they're piecing together a bunch of old online accounts tied directly to Crook's email, his real email and his name. And one of the biggest ones was on DeviantArt, ground zero for the furry community. Usernames like EpicMicrowave and TheEpicMicrowave. This kid was not casually browsing, he was deep in that subculture, we find...

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine is calling on the FBI and Secret Service to finally produce the full truth about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt against President Donald Trump — an attack she says federal authorities have mishandled from the beginning. In a column Monday, Devine wrote that Americans are still waiting for a coherent explanation of how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb onto a rooftop overlooking Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally and fire eight rounds from an AR-15-style rifle, grazing Trump's ear and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. "We are all owed a better explanation,"...

A new bombshell has dropped in the case of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year. Ever since the shooting, questions have remained about Crooks’ motive and his history. The government has not exactly been forthcoming with information about the would-be assassin. But a New York Post report has revealed details that have been hidden until now. Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks’ online history that pointed to a motive or political...

“Donald Trump's would-be assassin appears to have used 'they/them' pronouns on a website known for hosting pornographic 'furry' material. Thomas Crooks, who shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at the height of the presidential campaign in 2024, is linked to the accounts 'epicmicrowave' and 'theepicmicrowave' on the website DeviantArt. The website hosts sexually explicit images of 'furries' - human-like animal characters. The accounts linked to Crooks used 'they/them' pronouns used by the transgender community and his activity suggested an interest in cartoon characters with ripped male physiques and female heads.”

We are all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The president himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he’s been given about the circumstances leading to 20-year-old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR-15 style rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his ear. [snip] Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section...

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) These are videos the FBI has worked hard to make sure you haven't seen. They're from the Google Drive account of Thomas Crooks, the man who on July 13, 2024, showed up at the Butler County, Pennsylvania fairgrounds and tried to assassinate the front runner, Donald Trump. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people. And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart. That chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that's said, take a look at what happened....

Tucker Carlson has revealed that the young man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania last year had a long record of espousing political violence.Comments posted by Thomas Crooks to YouTube from 2019 to 2020 show a detailed digital trail of violent threats that included calls for assassination and political violence, despite the Federal Bureau of Investigation's repeated claims otherwise, according to a mini-documentary Carlson released Friday morning. The posts were made by Crooks when was between 15 and 17 years old, Carlson's expose claims. The deep-dive from the former Fox News stemmed from a tip he received...

Tucker Carlson's latest exposé is sending shockwaves through MAGA circles after the former Fox News host suggested that Trump's failed assassin, Thomas Crooks, may be connected to a foreign terror group.Carlson's investigative team released a 34-minute video diving into the online history of Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who shot Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024. Crooks' bullet came within less than an inch of penetrating Trump's skull.More than a year after the assassination attempt, the FBI has yet to release a clear motive for why Crooks tried to shoot Trump or whether he acted...

We are all owed an explanation from the @fbi about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who appears to have been groomed into becoming Trump's attempted assassin. It's been over a year. The official line is implausible and invites conspiracy theories. The president demanded answers months ago. A man was murdered. What is going on?

Tucker Carlson to announce his findings related to the assassination attempt of President Trump in Butler on Friday night. Here is a list of items that are still outstanding. We’ve been saying since the assassination attempt that many questions are still open. Bannon shared Tucker’s tweet on GETTR. On Twitter and X, a similar report was made. We really don’t know anything about Thomas Crooks, the alleged assassin of President Trump in Bultler, PA, on July 13, 2024. Tucker will be addressing this in a show on Friday.

“We Know Nothing” – Eric Trump Slams PA State and FBI Silence on Butler Assassination Attempt Republished with permission from AbleChild. Eric Trump is demanding that investigators solve the mystery behind the alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who reportedly tried to kill his father at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania more than a year ago. For those who for months have been asking for the FBI to release its investigation of the assassination attempt, Eric’s demands seem fair. The President’s son reports during an interview on Pod Force One with Miranda Devine that “I’m very far away from being...

Embattled BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and her wife have dissolved their consulting business and sold their joint LA home, while she’s dropped her spouse’s name, The Post can reveal. Details about the personal moves surfaced as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation that Cullors helped found is reportedly in the crosshairs of the Department of Justice for possibly defrauding its donors out of tens of millions of dollars during the country’s 2020 racial-justice protests. It isn’t yet clear who the feds are eyeing in the probe, but subpoenas and at least one search warrant were issued in recent weeks,...

Ryan Routh, who is charged in the second assassinate attempt of Donald Trump, tied himself to the President-elect’s other would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, in a bizarre letter from jail — in which he also ranted about the “two-party system.” Routh 58, sent the letter to Politico reporter Ankush Khardori from a federal detention center in Miami where he is awaiting trial after he allegedly tried to take out Trump at his Florida golf course earlier this year. In the four page letter, in which Routh refers to himself several times as the “Alleged Trump shooter,” he railed against the US’s...

Rising amenability to socialism is causing Democrats to freak out. While the national socialist media is busy ignoring the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, there are two other closely related stories of note that show the current state of affairs. The first is that Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) suggested that socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and other Democrat socialists should “create their own party.” The beginnings of an ideological civil war within the ranks of the party. The flip side is that polling from Gallup and Rasmussen shows significant support for this collectivist ideology — meaning that...

AbleChild has recently obtained a copy of the much sought after autopsy results of alleged attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. In a word, the autopsy leaves a lot to be desired and, frankly, even with the autopsy, the public still has not been provided physical evidence to, once and for all, indict Thomas Matthew Crooks as the shooter. First, the autopsy of the alleged shooter was only made public when the Headline USA reporter, Kenneth Silva, filed suit with the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) to obtain “the medical examiner case information summary, as well as all lab analysis...

Shooter's motives still unclear despite extensive investigation into the attack that nearly changed American history.. As the one-year mark nears since the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, questions remain unanswered; notably, why did Thomas Matthew Crooks carry out the attack, and how did he get so close? Despite the year's passage, the mystery endures surrounding the 20-year-old Pennsylvania native’s motivation. Fox News Digital spoke with two former federal officials about the lingering questions. Former FBI agent John Nantz said Crooks did not fit the profile of a politically motivated extremist. "Crooks looked not so much like an ideologue, not...
