In a recent development, the FBI has released new information regarding the would-be assassin of former President Trump, Thomas Matthew Krooks. This release has raised eyebrows and questions about the narrative surrounding the incident that occurred during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Key Takeaways
- The FBI claims Krooks acted alone, but motives remain unclear.
- Krooks had a history of searching for Trump and Biden events.
- His political affiliations are under scrutiny, with conflicting reports.
The Incident
On July 13, during a Trump campaign rally, a tragic event unfolded, resulting in the death of a man named Cory Comor. The FBI has since been investigating the actions of Thomas Matthew Krooks, who was identified as the would-be assassin. The agency has released photos and details about the scene, asserting that Krooks acted alone. However, the evidence presented raises more questions than answers.
The Search History
Krooks’s online activity is particularly telling. Over the month leading up to the incident, he conducted more than 60 searches related to both President Biden and former President Trump. Notably, he searched for:

- Trump’s campaign schedule
- Upcoming appearances in Pennsylvania
- Specific details about the Butler rally
- Historical references, such as “how far was Oswald from Kennedy”
This extensive search history suggests a hyperfocus on the rally, leading many to question the FBI’s assertion that he had no identifiable political ideology.
Political Affiliations
Interestingly, while the FBI claims Krooks had no discernible political motivations, evidence suggests otherwise. He reportedly donated to ActBlue, a platform supporting Democratic candidates. This contradiction raises doubts about the FBI’s narrative. How can someone with such actions be labeled as politically neutral?
The FBI’s Claims
During a press briefing, Special Agent Kevin Rojack stated that Krooks had a “mixture of ideologies.” However, critics argue that the evidence points predominantly to left-leaning beliefs. The FBI’s insistence on the lack of a clear motive is puzzling, especially given Krooks’s online interactions and donations.
