Would-Be Trump Assassin Used ‘Bob Dole’ Pseudonym
New FBI records say Crooks used aliases, encrypted email and a 3D-printed handgun as investigators probe his planning before the Trump rally attack.
- Newly surfaced FBI records released to the Senate Judiciary Committee reveal that an unidentified donor paid for the cremation of Thomas Matthew Crooks, offering fresh details about the 20-year-old gunman's secretive behavior.
- Matthew Crooks told investigators his son was emotionally distant, rarely showing strong feelings, and routinely used the alias 'Bob Dole' for online purchases, including more than 25 firearms-related items, to obscure his activities.
- Days before the July 13, 2024, attack, Matthew watched his son pacing in the garage, 'talking and not making any sense' while cleaning a gun, and later handed him the Panther Arms A-15 rifle that morning.
- Despite extensive analysis of Crooks' digital footprint, the FBI maintains he acted alone without a clear ideological motive, finding no evidence that any foreign actor directed the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
- The anonymous cremation payment remains unexplained, adding to the case's lingering questions, while Matthew said his family is 'racking their brains' because his son 'never showed any signs indicating something was wrong'.
