FBI releases major update on Trump assassination attempt after accusation of ‘withholding information’

The FBI has been forced to release further details on the Donald Trump assassination attempt that occurred last year.

Trump was shot at on July 13, 2024 while on stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. 20-year-old Thomas Crooks Crooks is said to have fired eight rounds from an AR-15-style rifle from a nearby building’s roof, killing an audience member present at the rally, as well as a fireman.

Trump, then the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, was wounded in his upper right ear. He was quickly whisked off stage by his Secret Service team, while Crooks was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper.

In the aftermath of the incident, the FBI claimed that not much was known about Crooks prior to the shooting. Information has surfaced in the past week, however, that has some speculating that might not have been the case.
