Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks wrote chilling online post foreshadowing rally shooting: report
Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks wrote a chilling online message that hinted to sinister plans for the day he shot up the former president’s Butler, Pa. rally over the weekend.
“July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” the 20-year-old gunman allegedly wrote on Steam, a popular online platform where gamers communicate with one another, Fox News reported.
The foreshadowing message was revealed to US senators during a briefing with top law enforcement officials on Wednesday.
Crooks, 20, also had images of the Republican presidential nominee as well as President Biden on his cellphone, and searched the dates of the Democratic National Convention and Trump’s Pennsylvania rally — where he shot the 45th president from a nearby rooftop, law enforcement sources told The Post.
