US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on the 15th the FBI has recently uncovered
additional information about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman in the 2024
attempt on President Trump, relating to his background and experience; Blanche
provided no further details at a White House briefing. A UK source who reviewed
the documents said the new material alleges Crooks used the name of the late GOP
senator and former presidential candidate Bob Dole to receive parcels, purchased
parts and tools from Amazon to modify a rifle, and that after Secret Service
agents shot Crooks dead an anonymous party paid to have him cremated.
