RUSH EXCERPT:
PAINTER: “That determination coming after a huge global investigation that involved more than 1,000 interviews, and it found that 20-year-old Thomas Crooks acted alone in the July 2024 shooting of Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A bullet piercing the upper part of Trump’s right ear, and the gunfire also claiming the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore, and gravely injuring two others in a very chaotic scene. Seconds later, Secret Service countersnipers fatally shot crooks. FBI leadership sat down with fox digital for an exclusive interview on this investigation. The deputy director saying, quote, we have reviewed this case over and over, looked into every nugget. We have spoken to families, the president. There is no cover-up here. There was no motive for it, no reason for it. Another senior FBI official adding this, quote: there is no foreign connection in this case.”
