US EditionFox News: Bret Baier Tears Into Kash Patel Over Trump Assassination Attempt Details
Baier challenged FBI Director Patel on limited public details about the 2024 assassination attempt, despite the FBI providing 40,000 pages of documents to Congress, Patel said.
- On Tuesday , Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed FBI Director Kash Patel about limited public details on Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old suspect who opened fire at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July 2024.
- Framing the issue legally, Patel said the FBI completed an exhaustive search and presented findings to the Department of Justice, which decided what could be released.
- Patel highlighted the volume of material provided to Congress, noting the FBI delivered 40,000 pages of documents—a 400% increase—and involved 485 FBI employees and more than 1,000 interviews.
- Baier pressed for specifics such as cell phones and contacts, while the FBI said investigation parameters and legal limits restrict disclosures, leaving key details and motive unresolved.
- Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project linked Crooks' visits to an FBI office via device-tracking data, while records show a $15 donation via ActBlue in January 2021.
