Would-Be Trump Assassin Used ‘Bob Dole’ Pseudonym
FBI records say Crooks used aliases, encrypted accounts and a 3D-printed handgun while his father described years of strange behavior.
- Newly surfaced FBI documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee detail the planning of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.
- Records show Crooks employed privacy tools and aliases, including 'Bob Dole,' to procure firearm parts and materials for a 3D-printed Glock while practicing long-range shooting techniques over five years.
- Matthew Crooks described his son as emotionally distant, saying Thomas "did not scream" when born and "never really had a father/son bond." The father inadvertently provided the Panther Arms A-15 rifle from his locked safe on the morning of the attack.
- An anonymous donor paid for the gunman's cremation 10 days after the attack, yet the identity and motive of this donor remain unknown despite federal investigation.
- While investigators found no evidence of foreign actors or co-conspirators, the FBI maintains the shooting was a carefully planned assassination attempt, leaving central questions about Crooks' motive unresolved.
