WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAU) – A report that will provide the general public with a better understanding of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks is expected to be released in the coming days, nearly seven months after his attempt on President Trump’s life.
According to President Trump, who spoke with reporters from the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon, he intends to order the release of the FBI and DOJ reports on the assassination attempt next week, saying, “I want to find the answers. We can no longer blame Biden. He should have released that a long time ago. So what they are doing is giving me a report next week sometime. I do believe I’ll be releasing it. I want to release the report.”
“You had one who had three apps, two of which were foreign, supposedly, and who has the biggest white shoe law firm in Pennsylvania, even though they don’t live in a white shoe area. What’s that all about?” the president continued.
Following the shooting, Trump had meetings with law enforcement officials, and ABC News was informed by sources that the meeting included information about Crooks, including him having three foreign email accounts and encrypted messaging apps tied to Belgium, New Zealand, and Germany, that they were able to access due to him having the passwords saved on his home computer. The contents of emails and messages linked to the accounts are yet to be made public.
According to the New York Post, a team of private investigators run by Doug Hagmann, who was hired by an individual he described as a “private client,” stated that they had interviewed more than 100 people about Crooks and the assassination attempt as well as conducted geofencing analysis tests on devices that were found in his home and at other locations he frequented, including the local gun range and Bethel Park High School.
Hagmann told The Post that he and his team believe, based on the information they’ve uncovered, that Crooks was part of a “criminal network,” saying, “We don’t think he acted alone. This took a lot of coordination. In my view, Crooks was handled by more than one individual, and he was used for this [assassination attempt]. And I wouldn’t preclude the possibility that there were people at the rally itself helping him.”
Authorities have not commented on Hagmann’s allegations but noted in the days after the shooting that Crooks could have pulled off the assassination attempt on his own due to him scoring 1530 out of a possible 1600 on the SAT, having high grades throughout his academic career, and being an experienced shooter.
