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 an unidentified donor paid for the cremation of Thomas Matthew Crooks, offering fresh details about the 20-year-old gunman's secretive behavior before the Butler attack.
- Matthew Crooks told investigators his son was emotionally distant, rarely showing strong feelings, and routinely used the alias 'Bob Dole' for more than 25 firearms-related purchases to obscure his activities after a bank account breach.
- 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, then 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.
- An anonymous cremation payment remains unexplained, adding to lingering questions, while Matthew said his family is 'racking their brains' because his son 'never showed any signs indicating something was wrong.
