Would-Be Trump Assassin Used ‘Bob Dole’ Pseudonym

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump claimed without providing evidence that the 2024 assassination attempt against him was a "Democrat Plot" designed to force him from the presidential election.
  • Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley received new documents regarding Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter who killed one attendee and wounded two others at the 2024 Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
  • Records reveal an anonymous donor paid for Crooks' cremation shortly after the attack, while investigators found he used the alias "Bob Dole" to purchase firearm parts online before the shooting.
  • Trump targeted former FBI Director Christopher Wray, calling him a "Dirty Cop" and stating he "should pay the price" for the bureau's handling of the investigation.
  • Official inquiries have uncovered no evidence of a political conspiracy, focusing instead on security lapses and Crooks' unknown motive during the 2024 campaign.
