New Senate documents have revealed that Trump rally shooter Thomas Crooks used an alias to receive suspicious packages before the July 2024 attack. The disclosures also reveal an anonymous cremation donor, even as investigators say his motive remains unknown.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate US President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July 2024, had suspicious packages delivered to him under the pseudonym Bob Dole, a late Republican senator, according to new government documents.
The documents, which were turned over to the Senate in March, also revealed that an anonymous donor paid for Crooks’ cremation after he was killed by a Secret Service sniper shortly after the attack on Trump on July 13, 2024.
