From Breitbart: A report from CBS News indicates alleged would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was “designing a bomb” for purposes unknown.
Breitbart News reported that Crooks allegedly attempted to kill Trump on July 13, 2024, after telling his father he needed to borrow a rifle to go the range.
Trump’s right ear was hit by one of Crooks’ bullets and audience member Corey Comperatore was killed by another round. Crooks was killed by the Secret Service less than 30 seconds after he allegedly fired his first shot.
According to CBS News, Crooks had been “designing a bomb” for months prior to the assassination attempt and had become frustrated that the components had not shipped to him in a timely fashion.
The report cites an email Crooks sent to the company on January 31, 2024 asking about his order. He wrote, “Hello, my name is Thomas. I placed an order on your website on January 19. I have not received any updates of the order shipping out yet and I was wondering if you still have it and when I can expect it to come.”
The FBI said they discovered (after the shooting) that Crooks had conducted research on ‘nitromethane, and other materials consistent with the manufacturing of explosive devices.’”
