Tucker Carlson joins Joe Rogan and Elon Musk in questioning the Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania
It’s been over a year since Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump in Bulter, Pennsylvania on 13 July. There have been many doubts raised about the succession of events that transpired, giving birth to a number of conspiracy theories.
Even Trump supporters like podcaster Joe Rogan and his biggest campaign donor Elon Musk considered the inconsistencies in the official story “insane.” They’ve now been joined by former Fox host Tucker Carlson, who said that the FBI is covering up the truth in a recent video he posted about his investigation into the would-be assassin.

Carlson claims that the FBI is lying when it said Crooks “had no online footprint,” something the agency was quick to rebuke. The political commentator explained that he received a tip from a person who had gained access to some of Crooks’ online accounts utilizing tools employed by private investigators.

Using Crooks’ telephone number, the source was able to locate his primary Gmail account which he was able to trace to numerous other online accounts. “It turns out that Thomas Crooks was hardly an online ghost, he was active. And yet federal investigators lied and told us there was no trace of him,” Carlson stated.
While the person wasn’t able to retrieve information from many of them because “some of the accounts appear to have been fully deactivated and completely taken out of use. Some of them may have been unused or cleared by federal officials during the investigation,” Carlson said. “We don’t know because the FBI wouldn’t tell us.”
However, the person was able to retrieve all the data from Crooks’ deactivated YouTube account. Among those were his public comments between 2019 and 2020 which showed that “Crooks was not some secretive lone wolf who never warned anyone that he was planning violence, just the opposite.”
“Years before he showed up in Butler, Crooks was leaving a detailed digital trail of violent threats. Including calls for assassination attempts and political violence,” Carlson said. “Second, they show a man who started out as a radical Trump supporter whose views on the president transformed, changed completely during covid.”
“The FBI lied about that fact and pretended that Crooks was a right-winger,” he added.
