Crooks Planned Bomb Attack, Sought Explosives Before Trump Rally Shooting

Crooks Planned Bomb Attack, Sought Explosives Before Trump Rally Shooting

A year after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, new details have emerged about Thomas Crooks, the shooter.

It has come to light that Crooks attempted to purchase large quantities of nitromethane, a key ingredient for explosives.

He sought the chemical from an online retailer.

This information indicates he was planning a more extensive attack than previously known.

While he was planning the attack, Crooks was also applying to transfer to a university.

Legal experts raise questions about the ongoing investigation and whether others were involved.

The incident is being compared to the first serious attempt on a US presidential candidate’s life since 1981.

Many feel the story hasn't received enough media coverage.
