The FBI is now calling out Tucker Carlson for lying about the agency, specifically what he says they ‘said’ about Thomas Crooks, the wannabe assassin who nearly killed President Trump in July 2024.
First, here’s what Tucker said:
The FBI told us Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump last summer but somehow had no online footprint. The FBI lied, and we can prove it because we have his posts. The question is why? Story tomorrow.

The FBI says this is not true at all:
This FBI has never said Thomas Crooks had no online footprint. Ever. https://t.co/nJ6S4CWIp0
