The FBI has concluded that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump in 2024, acted alone. This announcement, reported by Fox News, follows an extensive investigation that included interviews with thousands of individuals both domestically and internationally. The probe was initiated after the shooting of President Trump and, according to Fox News, represents an “unprecedented global investigation.” The conclusion seemingly contradicts earlier speculation fueled by a report from Tucker Carlson focusing on Crooks’ online activity and alleged connections to a mysterious figure.
Despite the widespread investigation, authorities have reportedly found no evidence to suggest Crooks was influenced or supported by any other individuals or groups. Dan Bongino, speaking to Fox News Digital, emphasized the thoroughness of the investigation, stating, “We have reviewed this case over and over, looked into every nugget…there is no cover-up here.” Bongino further added that the investigation could not uncover a definitive motive or reason for Crooks’ alleged actions, reinforcing the narrative that the attempted assassination was the act of a solitary individual.
