US EditionNew Reports Challenge FBI Claims on Trump Shooter's Online Activity
Tucker Carlson claims the FBI misrepresented the July 2024 Trump assailant's online activity, while the FBI says it examined 25 social media accounts and 13 devices.
- Tucker Carlson uploaded a video to X at 8:00 a.m. ET claiming the FBI 'has worked hard to make sure you haven't seen' footage from Crooks' Google Drive, and the FBI Rapid Response account replied, `This FBI has never said Thomas Crooks had no online footprint.`
- Tucker Carlson alleges FBI Director Kash Patel, former FBI director Christopher Wray, and FBI deputy director Dan Bongino concealed Crooks' Google Drive and YouTube comments from 2019–2020, promising to reveal social-media posts Friday.
- FBI officials detailed the probe's scale involving more than 480 FBI investigative team staffers, over 1,000 interviews, over 2,000 public tips, analysis of 13 seized digital devices and nearly 500,000 digital files.
- The FBI said the Rapid Response account was created to combat 'fake news' and increase direct communication, while social media users' reactions were mixed and Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned amid calls for agency reform.
- Information remains scarce more than a year after July 13, 2024, as the FBI rejects Tucker Carlson's claim it 'lied' about Thomas Crooks' online footprint traced to various accounts.
