Would-Be Trump Assassin Used ‘Bob Dole’ Pseudonym
FBI records say Crooks used aliases, encrypted email and a 3D-printed handgun before the attack, while an anonymous donor paid for his cremation.
- On Tuesday, newly disclosed FBI documents detailed Thomas Matthew Crooks' secretive planning using aliases like 'Bob Dole', encryption tools, and 3D-printed firearm components before his July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
- Investigators' interviews with gunman's father Matthew Crooks reveal a pattern of emotional detachment since birth and erratic behavior, including pacing while 'talking and not making any sense' as he cleaned a gun days before the attack.
- Federal records reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee reveal an 'anonymous donor' paid for Crooks' cremation 10 days after the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting, leaving investigators without explanation of the donor's identity or motive.
- Louisiana GOP Rep. Clay Higgins expressed being 'infuriated and disturbed' that the FBI released the gunman's body for cremation less than two weeks after the attack, raising public questions about the agency's handling of the scene.
- Despite extensive analysis of digital accounts, the FBI maintains it found no confirmed co-conspirators or foreign direction of the attack, leaving the central question of why Crooks targeted Trump unresolved more than two years later.
