FBI concludes Trump's would-be assassin acted alone during rally shooting [View all]

The FBI this week concluded its probe into the first assassination attempt against President Trump during a Pennsylvania campaign rally last year, finding that the deceased suspect acted alone and without motive.

FBI Director Kash Patel, in an interview with Fox News, said Trump was informed of the FBI’s conclusion to its investigation “as a victim of this case” and said the president was “satisfied with the results and where we left it.” The probe was a “Day One priority” for the agency, Patel added.

“We have reviewed this case over and over — looked into every nugget,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Fox News Digital. “We have spoken to the families, the president — there is no cover-up here. There is no motive for it, there is no reason for it.”

Thomas Matthew Crooks was identified as the suspect after Secret Service agents shot and killed the 20-year-old after the suspect opened fire from the roof of a building at the Butler, Pa., event in July 2024. One rallygoer died from a gunshot wound and a bullet grazed the president’s ear.
