Americans Still Waiting For Answers In Trump Assassination Attempt

By: Alex Oliveira | New York Post

The American people deserve answers about what drove Thomas Crooks to attempt to assassinate President Trump, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post on ‘Pod Force One’— after a damning report emerged suggesting the gunman left a trail of digital clues the FBI did not previously share with the public.

“Those questions are definitely deserving of answers and I understand why the public wants those answers, and I believe the president does too,” Leavitt recently told Miranda Devine on Pod Force One.

“It’s a good question, and it’s one I’d like to see the answer to — and I think all Americans would,” she added.

Leavitt’s comments came as Devine dropped a bombshell report in The Post Monday about newly unearthed social media posts that appear to show Crooks openly supporting political assassinations, ranting against Trump and using they/them pronouns online.

Crooks’ motive is just one of the major questions that remain unanswered in the 16 months since the attempt on Trump’s life, which left one beloved firefighter dead and two other Trump supporters critically wounded.

Among the other unanswered questions are:

• Whether Crooks acted alone, or had contact with agents of a foreign government
• Why the FBI never noticed or investigated Crooks’ violent rhetoric online
• Whether the FBI turned over all evidence it had to congressional investigators
• Did FBI investigators find all of Crooks’ online activity — or was some of it overlooked?

The FBI did not respond to a request for comment Monday.

Leavitt’s comments came after sources revealed a trove of alarming posts Crooks is believed to have made across social media for years.
