Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks Was a Democrat Donor, Records Show
by
Authorities have raided the home of President Donald Trump’s failed assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
The FBI identified the shooter, who was killed during the attack, as police raided the suspect’s home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Locals were advised to remain in their homes while law enforcement searched the property, witnesses revealed.
The New York Post first identified Crooks as the suspected shooter on Saturday night.
The FBI later confirmed Crooks’ identity early Sunday, after declining to do so during a press conference.
The federal agency also described it as an assassination attempt.
As Americans still come to terms with the shocking attempt on Trump’s life, details are beginning to emerge that paint a picture of the gunman’s motivations.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that Crooks made a political donation of $15 through ActBlue on January 20, 2021 – Democrat President Joe Biden’s inauguration day.
He made the donation using ActBlue, the Democrats’ progressive donation clearinghouse, to the Progressive Turnout Project.
The left-wing organization describes itself as being “dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic Party and defending democracy.”
In donor records, he listed his occupation as unemployed and listed the address descended upon by police.
Public records also reveal that both of his parents are licensed counselors.
His father owns a firm providing disability services.
