Exclusive: New Details Emerge in Trump’s Assassination Attempt, Post Revealed
Investigations are ongoing in the USA to uncover the details behind the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks’ motives and actions leading up to the attack are under scrutiny as law enforcement agencies delve into his electronic devices and online activity.
Sources close to the investigation revealed that Crooks had sent a message to the gaming platform “Steam” hinting at his upcoming actions, stating, “I’ll be premiering on July 13th, watch what happens.” Additionally, photos of Trump and President Joe Biden, as well as internet searches related to long-range bullet trajectory, were found on Crooks’ phone and internet logs.
New information from a closed briefing given to Senate members shed light on the moments leading up to the attack. Crooks was reportedly seen walking around the rally area with a bag on his back and taking measurements with a rangefinder, arousing suspicion among law enforcement officers. Despite efforts to alert higher authorities, Crooks managed to disappear briefly before reappearing on a nearby rooftop and firing at Trump.
As the investigation progresses, questions are being raised about the response of the US Secret Service in preventing the assassination attempt. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle faced backlash from Republican Congress members for the agency’s perceived failure to avert the attack. Calls for Cheatle’s resignation have been made, citing the agency’s prior knowledge of Crooks as a suspect an hour before the incident.
The attack on Trump, described by the FBI as an assassination attempt, resulted in the death of one rally attendee and injuries to two others. The assailant, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized at the scene. As authorities piece together the events leading up to the attack, the nation awaits further developments in this unfolding investigation.
