Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ cousin speaks: ‘Very strict’ father created an emotionless, isolated home

By Georgia Worrell | New York Post He grew up in a home filled with silence and was raised by a dad who acted like a ghost. Thomas Matthew Crooks — the 20-year-old gunman who nearly assassinated Donald Trump a year ago Sunday — spent his childhood in a strange, emotionless environment dictated by a “very strict” father, according to a relative.  On July 13, 2024, Crooks opened fire on Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., before he was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper. His motives and background have largely remained a mystery, but his first cousin Mark Crooks, 44, this week gave The Post a glimpse into his family’s odd and antisocial behavior. The last time Mark saw Thomas, his sister and their parents was in March 2019 at their grandfather’s funera...

Comey, Brennan under FBI criminal investigation for Trump-Russia origins

By Victor Nava | New York Post Former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey are being investigated for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.  The criminal referral involving Brennan was passed to the FBI by current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.  The investigation into the Obama-era spy chief involves allegations that he made false statements to Congress and is currently underway.  It’s unclear if the FBI’s probe into Brennan, one of 51 intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop could be Russian disinformation, encompasses more than his alleged false testimony to lawmakers.  Meanwhile, the specific nature of the...

Feds Sweep Up Murderers, Rapists, and Illegals in Massive Raid

By Joe Marino | The New York Post They brought the hammer down on the worst of the worst. Federal authorities have swept up 264 wanted criminals — including two illegal migrants wanted for sex crimes — in New Jersey in an ongoing mission dubbed “Operation Apex Hammer” that nabbed suspects wanted for murder, robbery and sexual offenses, including those against children. Those arrested include 17 homicide suspects, 95 gang members, including several others wanted for serious violent and sexual offenses, federal officials said. U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr. and Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba called the collaboration among federal, state, and local law enforcement “a major success in combating violent crime and restoring public safety.” “We are doing multiple cases at once to m...

Judge Clears Way to Deport Terror Suspect’s Family After Boulder Bombing

By Shane Galvin | New York Post The family of the Colorado terror suspect who injured 8 Israeli hostage supporters with homemade firebombs last month can be deported, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. US District Court Judge Orlando Garcia dismissed Mohamed Sabry Soliman family’s legal challenge to their deportation — stating that the Trump administration has conducted normal and legal removal proceedings. Soliman’s wife and five children had sued to prevent expedited removal proceedings, but the judge ruled he “lacks jurisdiction to grant Petitioners the relief they seek.” Garcia’s decision superseded another court’s ruling last month, when Biden-appointed US District Court Judge Gordon Gallagher slammed the brakes on the Trump administration’s attempt to deport Soliman’s fa...

Pelosi’s Wall Street play: portfolio beats hedge funds, sparks renewed ethics debate

By Gabrielle Fahmy | New York Post She might be the She-Wolf of Wall Street. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed. The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial disclosures showed the couple’s net worth topping out at a possible $370 million. Pelosi’s exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges. Market research firm Quiver Quantitative, which estimates a single figure based on daily stock values it tracks, placed the pair’s 2024 worth at $257 million — up $26 million from a year earlier. But the value of their variou...

No Cash, No Confidence–Dems May Borrow Just to Stay Afloat

By Kendall White, Ryan King and Steven Nelson | New York Post Democrats’ main fundraising committee is losing big donors and so cash-strapped that its officials have discussed borrowing money just to keep the lights on, with one source spilling to The Post that if things don’t turn around before the 2026 midterms, the party is “f–ked.” “We are six months in and we’re drowning,” a source close to the Democratic National Committee told The Post about the current rate of contributions. “The RNC was so cash-heavy and hitting us day after day after day when Biden was president.” “We have no clear path or plan,” they added. “The midterms are going to come before we know it, and then we’re going to be really f–ked.” The DNC’s struggle to message against the Trump administration and ra...

Devine: When Justice Becomes Vengeance: Inside the Biden DOJ’s War Room

By Miranda Devine | The New York Post Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article. The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and revealed exclusively to The Post are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,” writes prosecutor JP Cooney to DOJ colleagues on March 8, 2023, in an email with the subject line “J6 Prisoner Choir/DJT” and an attached...

Menendez Behind Bars: Democrat Senator Jailed for Bribery and Corruption

By Ben Kochman | New York Post Bob Menendez is about to spend his “golden” years behind bars. The disgraced New Jersey Democrat surrendered at a federal prison in Pennsylvania on Tuesday to begin his 11-year sentence for a corrupt scheme that earned him the moniker “Gold Bar Bob.” Menendez, 71, arrived at FCI Schuykill — a two-and-a-half-hour drive from his Englewood Cliffs home — at around 9 a.m., following his conviction for selling his powerful Senate post to enrich himself with gold bars, cash, and other bribes. The once-powerful pol was sentenced in January, but was allowed to push off his prison term’s start date after he argued he needed to support his wife, Nadine Menendez, during her trial on similar bribery and corruption charges. He’s also made a bid to score a la...

DOJ: Anti-Israel protester on Columbia University campus had direct Hamas connection

By Megan Palin | New York Post A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal. Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents. The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus. Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Ha...

Weaponizing 911: Romanian national pleads guilty to swatting 75+ public officials in multi-year plot

By Victor Nava | New York Post A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president.  Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department.  Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials and state...
