Local Cop, Not Secret Service, Took First Shot at Trump Assassin Thomas Crooks

A recent bomb­shell con­gres­sion­al report has revealed a shock­ing new nar­ra­tive sur­round­ing the attempt­ed assas­si­na­tion of for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump in But­ler, Pennsylvania.

The report, com­piled by Rep. Clay Hig­gins, claims that the would-be assas­sin Thomas Crooks was ini­tial­ly inca­pac­i­tat­ed by a local SWAT oper­a­tor before being killed by a Secret Ser­vice sniper.

The offi­cial nar­ra­tive had pre­vi­ous­ly stat­ed that Crooks was shot in the head with­in sec­onds by a Secret Ser­vice sniper. 

How­ev­er, Hig­gins’ report con­tends that it was actu­al­ly a local SWAT oper­a­tor who first struck Crooks’ rifle, dam­ag­ing its func­tion­al­i­ty and pre­vent­ing the gun­man from con­tin­u­ing his hail of bullets.

The report also reveals the dis­turb­ing fact that Crooks’ body was mys­te­ri­ous­ly cre­mat­ed just 10 days after the shoot­ing, despite ongo­ing inves­ti­ga­tions. Hig­gins claims this action by the FBI can only be seen as an “obstruc­tion to any fol­low­ing inves­tiga­tive effort.”

These rev­e­la­tions chal­lenge the offi­cial accounts pro­vid­ed by the FBI and Secret Ser­vice, rais­ing ques­tions about the agen­cies’ han­dling of the high-pro­file assas­si­na­tion attempt. The report has been sub­mit­ted to a bipar­ti­san con­gres­sion­al task force inves­ti­gat­ing the inci­dent, with the final report expect­ed before Decem­ber 13.
