Shocking Discovery: Cell Phone and Transmitter Found Next to Trump Shooter Thomas Crooks

Breaking news from WHIO-TV reveals astonishing details about Thomas Crooks, the man behind the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. New evidence has surfaced showing a cell phone and a remote transmitter found next to Crooks' body after he was shot by a Secret Service s*****.

Reports from WPXI indicate that Crooks was seen loitering around the American Glass Research (AGR) complex more than an hour before the shooting. He was spotted on the building's roof, where he aimed at Trump, less than seven minutes before police confronted him. Contrary to the Secret Service director’s comments, there were no police or s***** teams inside the building Crooks climbed.

Exclusive images show Crooks holding a cell phone and a rangefinder nearly an hour before the gunfire. This information was relayed via police radio to the Tactical command post just after 5:30 PM. Despite the AGR building being identified as a point of interest by planning authorities, local law enforcement was not stationed inside but in an adjacent building.

Butler Township manager Tom Knight mentioned that conversations about the building's logistical coverage and access points had taken place, but it was outside the event area. Additionally, sources revealed that a message was sent to command about 15 minutes before Trump took the stage, noting the suspicious activity of Crooks who was last seen with a backpack but no visible gun.
