July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bodycam footage taken by Secret Service agents reveals the aftermath of Thomas Matthew Crooks’ failed assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign on July 13, ahead of the Republican National Convention. Trump survived, escaping the situation with nothing more than an ear injury, which came when the bullet grazed him. One rally attendee died, and two more were injured. Since the assassination attempt, questions about the poor security job arose. The Department of Homeland Security began a probe into the Secret Service on July 16.

Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa posted new footage of the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt. In the footage, which was taken by a Secret Service agent’s helmet camera, the security personnel on location are talking through what took place. The grisly footage shows what appears to be an agent standing on the roof with several law enforcement officers. They are attempting to make sense of the timeline of events. Viewers can see the blurred, lifeless body of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at various moments.

“For the past 10 days, questions have only been building regarding the catastrophic security failure that occurred on July 13,” said Senator Grassley in a statement. “Federal agencies, particularly the Secret Service, have failed to be transparent with the American people. This assassination attempt is a matter of significant public interest, and the public’s business ought to be public. I’m releasing these records as part of my efforts to get answers and hold agencies accountable.” Grassley is not the only politician demanding answers. Trump himself issued a similar demand for accountability on his Truth Social page.

Following the assassination attempt, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle announced her resignation. After receiving heat for the security breakdown that took place on July 13, the media and citizens alike speculated that she would not remain in that position for much longer. Lawmakers from both parties called for her resignation, and she did not wait long to do so. President Biden announced that he would fill her vacancy soon. The Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris said that his authorities warned the Secret Service about Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop. It is not yet clear when the miscommunication occurred. Law enforcement is working to make complete sense of what happened that day.

Thomas Matthew Crooks Used Steam To Plant Donald Trump Assassination Plan

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally on July 13, investigators have been working to determine a motive. They found a message posted to the gaming platform, Steam, that they believe Crooks himself authored. The message reads, “July 13 will be my premiere. Watch as it unfolds.” In their search, investigators also found internet searches for both Trump and President Joe Biden on Crooks’ phone.

Prior to the rally, Crooks, 20, had searched for the dates of Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He also searched for those of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the sources said. His phone was one of several devices that authorities confiscated in their attempt to piece together a timeline. As he searched for information pertaining to both Trump and current President Joe Biden, authorities are also searching for someone who can provide insight into his political leanings.

Thomas Matthew Crooks Used Steam To Allude To Trump Assassination Plan

Steam is a platform where users can purchase and discuss video games. It is one of the largest video game retailers in the world. Steam also has a collection of forums dedicated to different topics. That may have been how Crooks communicated with other people. As the image of who Crooks was becomes slowly becomes clearer, people have begun to speculate on motives. “Likely, it was a combination of mental health issues, ideological beliefs and a sense of personal grievance, the same combination of factors present in almost every school shooting and mass casualty attack over the past several years. As with those incidents, the warning signs were there, they were just not recognized,” John Cohen, the former Department of Homeland Security Head of Intelligence told ABC News.

As authorities continue their investigation, the political landscape continues to change. The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to investigate the Secret Service for their handling of the rally. President Biden is under mounting pressure to drop his plans to seek re-election. Donald Trump, who has been at the Republican National Convention all week, will formally accept his party’s presidential nomination for a third time tonight.
