Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy delivered an unsettling and consequential update after new reporting suggested a possible connection between Thomas Matthew Crooks—the would-be assassin who attempted to kill Donald Trump in July 2024—and Tyler Robinson, the man charged with murdering Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk. The emerging details have reinvigorated public scrutiny and reignited calls for full transparency from federal investigators.

Doocy, reporting live from outside the White House for Fox & Friends, emphasized that investigators had insisted for months that Crooks’ digital footprint contained “nothing helpful,” a claim now contradicted by newly uncovered posts believed to be linked to the young shooter. These posts reportedly depict Crooks posing with firearms and expressing admiration for well-known assassins, as well as revealing violent tendencies and radicalized ideological shifts. Doocy stressed that these revelations raise serious questions about the integrity of the investigation and the veracity of official briefings, particularly given that congressional investigators say they were never informed of Crooks’ online posts—an omission that has fueled bipartisan demands for a renewed, fully transparent inquiry.
