Attempted Trump Assassination: Inside the Life of Accused Thomas Crooks
Clear Facts
- 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspect involved in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, used a gun reportedly purchased by his father.
- The suspect was armed with a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle and allegedly had explosive material in his residence and car.
- Despite being a registered Republican, Crooks had previously made a donation to ActBlue, a committee that supports left-leaning politicians and groups.
The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the nation. Details are still emerging about the suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. It is reported that he used a gun his father had purchased.
A Secret Service sniper neutralized Crooks at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Law enforcement sources state that Crooks was armed with a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle. Reportedly, he fired from a shed’s rooftop, just outside the designated rally area.
“FBI Pittsburgh special agent in charge, Kevin Rojek, said at a late-night briefing following the incident, “We do not currently have an identified motive.” This statement emphasizes the ongoing nature of the investigation.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted an urgent trace on the firearm used in the incident. It is reported, citing multiple law enforcement sources, that Crooks’ father legally acquired the gun found at the crime scene.
Matthew Crooks, the suspect’s 53-year-old father, has been quoted saying that he is trying to understand what happened. He stated he would wait until speaking with law enforcement before making any further comment about his son.
The former president survived the attack, but footage shows him bleeding from the ear as the Secret Service swiftly escorted him from the rally stage. Tragically, one spectator was killed in the incident, and two others are in critical condition.
Crooks was a resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. In the early hours of Sunday, authorities sealed off the area surrounding the alleged shooter’s home. Both residents and investigators had exclusive access.
The FBI and Secret Service have been working closely with the suspect’s family to gather more information. It is reported that federal law enforcement is searching his home. Multiple sources have stated that potentially explosive material was found in both his car and residence.
Despite being a registered Republican, records show that Crooks participated in the Nov. 8, 2022, state election. However, a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing indicates that he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a committee supporting left-wing politicians, at the age of 17.
As the investigation continues, officials have stated that there are no known foreign terrorism ties linked to the suspect. The FBI has called on the public to assist in the investigation, urging anyone with relevant information to submit photos or videos online or make a phone call to the bureau.

“We’re done talking about the (June 27) debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.-Biden’
“Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied stronger Secret Service protection for former President Trump multiple times.”
“Kimberly Cheatle , U.S.S.S. Director was sworn in as the 27th director of the U.S. Secret Service in September 2022. She was selected by pResident Joe Biden in August 2022.”
“One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him.”
The police and S.S. agents on-site were warned repeatedly of a man with a rifle on a root top….they ignored the warnings. AFTER he shot our President, only then did they kill him thusly eliminating any chance of finding out who paid him, who he worked for………….

I truly feel it’s come to the point that the younger generations simply don’t give a damn about this country or we who belong here My generation I’m now 99) fought for our country and left many behind when we came home in 1945. It’s a real shame this once free country is turning to anti American Communism. The attempt on Trump’s life failed this time and I wouldn’t be surprised if It’s tried more than once. Hopefully I’m wrong but I have a strange feeling Biden might have ordered this attempt. Since the shooter missed, the Secret Service, Biden’s private army had to make it looked as though it was really doing it’s job.

Since Biden isn’t running the country, and never has, him ordering a hit on Trump is probably not true. However, the deep state is in control and Trump is an avowed enemy of the deep state, and all that promotes the military industrial complex. The CIA has meddled in domestic affairs, using assassination and other violence to take out or reduce opposition. JFK’s demise, lone wolf Lee Harvey Oswald was killed before he could be interrogated, and now some 60 years later the truth is somewhere, just not completely revealed. The CIA has it’s fingerprints on that event. A calm planet reduces the need for the CIA to exist and operate, so enemies must be created, and made to be more dangerous so the CIA can come to the rescue.
The media’s whole theme is, “The world is dangerous”. That’s what sells, aside from money and sex scandals. So they jump right on board with every event and chat it up 24/7. The deep state uses this news “coverage” as a false flag to hide from the news cycle whatever they’d rather the public not know. So it’s a circus, and here are a few clowns!

Amazing how quickly they could obtain all of this information on him, but they couldn’t prevent the attempted assassination with at least 5 minutes notice that he was on the building.

Conspiracy good possibility, just like JFK ans Ronald Regan. So we the people may never know who and what organization is behind the attempted murder/assassination. How does someone get past security with a rifle climb a ladder get in position on a roof for a kill shot while people point out the person on the rooftop. Convenient that he was shot and killed, he can’t give testimony if he acted alone or who or what put him up to this heinous crime. Something really stinks.
My sympathy and condolences to the family of the person murdered also to the families of those critically maimed or injured.
I thank God President Trump was not murdered and through God’s direction he can continue on. There are a lot of questions going through my mind and yours.
Come Lord Jesus , come quickly for only God can revive America from the mess it is in.
