FBI ‘withheld information’ about Donald Trump’s assassination attempt – shocking details emerge
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a 2024 rally remains a pivotal national event, now under renewed scrutiny. Lawmakers are raising significant concerns about the FBI’s transparency in the investigation.
Congressman Pat Fallon, who led the congressional task force reviewing the attack, has accused the FBI of withholding crucial information. He asserts his team was “stonewalled” and did not receive key details about the gunman, Thomas Crooks.
This accusation centers on the recent revelation that Crooks made over 700 online comments, many expressing extremist views. Fallon states this critical data was never provided to his task force, contradicting the FBI’s initial claims of knowing little about the assailant.
In response, Fallon is pushing to recall former FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate for further questioning. The attack itself had severe consequences, resulting in the death of a firefighter and two other individuals being wounded.
The public frustration is compounded by the fact that Crooks’ motive remains officially unclear. Political commentator Tucker Carlson has also questioned why the online activity was not disclosed earlier.
While the FBI maintains it conducted an extensive investigation, former FBI agent Jody Weis believes Crooks’ digital footprint should have flagged him for a deeper review. This could have potentially led to earlier intervention.
The ongoing debate underscores the public’s demand for truth and transparency following a deeply traumatic event for the nation.
