“这家伙到底是怎么爬上那座屋顶的？”：联邦调查局最新“克罗克斯”相关文件重提特朗普遇袭案疑问
密苏里州联邦参议员乔希·霍利（共和党籍）表示，有关前总统唐纳德·特朗普未遂刺杀者托马斯·克罗克斯的新披露的联邦调查局文件，进一步证明巴特勒枪击案（宾夕法尼亚州）的所有细节都应予以公开并给出合理解释。

共和党议员本周显然对有关托马斯·马修·克罗克斯的新文件感到意外。这名20岁男子曾试图刺杀特朗普，随后被击毙。
2024年7月，克罗克斯在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的一场竞选集会上向特朗普开火。一颗子弹擦伤了这位前总统的耳朵，一名试图掩护家人的集会参与者遇难。
“在我们开展相关报道期间，没有任何联邦机构与我们合作。他们说要自行调查，还告诉我们‘我们先完成自己的工作，之后再联系你们’。如今已经过去两年了，没人联系过我们，”曾主持两党众议院特别调查委员会调查此次枪击案的宾夕法尼亚州联邦众议员迈克·凯利（共和党籍）告诉福克斯新闻。
“那还是前政府时期。当时拜登政府治下的行政部门掌握的所有信息，我们那时都无法获取，”他说。
凯利还表示，众议院特别调查委员会2024年12月10日发布的报告，主要依据地方当局的意见撰写，联邦层面提供的信息极少。

“我们当时提出的所有问题，得到的答复都是‘我们会回头再跟你说’。而且你们也知道，我们可用的时间非常有限，无法深入调查我们想要了解的内容。所以当我们完成报告时，基本上只能依靠从地方执法部门收集到的所有信息，当时几乎没有从联邦机构获取到任何内容，”凯利说道。
福克斯新闻数字频道查阅了相关文件后发现，克罗克斯的父亲马修·克罗克斯曾在2024年5月，也就是其子爬上屋顶试图刺杀特朗普约两个月前，搜索过阻止儿子获取枪支的方法。
一名熟悉特别调查委员会工作的消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，众议院议员在调查期间并不知晓马修·克罗克斯在2024年5月的这一搜索行为。
巴特勒事件过去两年，针对特朗普的威胁仍让未遂刺杀案成为焦点
“特别调查委员会的报告证实，马修·克罗克斯将2024年7月13日刺杀未遂事件中使用的步枪交给了托马斯·克罗克斯，”该消息人士称。
凯利的发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他的办公室并不清楚联邦当局曾约谈过克罗克斯的家人。

这些文件是参议院司法委员会主席、爱荷华州联邦参议员查克·格拉斯利（共和党籍）为持续调查巴特勒未遂刺杀案而获取的。截至目前，移交参议院的文件显示，托马斯的行为令其家人感到意外，其作案动机仍是谜团。
参议院司法委员会成员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们尚未看到这些联邦调查局文件，但认为这足以说明2024年7月那天的全部细节都应公之于众。
该委员会成员、密苏里州联邦参议员乔希·霍利（共和党籍）告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，披露这批文件“本应早就发生”，但仍有“太多我们不知道的内情”。
“我认为我们必须——我一直以来都这么说——我们必须全面梳理当天发生的所有事情，梳理当天出现的所有执法失误，”霍利说道。
两年前我就在巴特勒，美国见证了何为勇气
当被问及克罗克斯的父亲曾试图阻止儿子获取枪支时，霍利表示：“这又回到了这个问题：如果这家伙当时行为异常，这些情况有没有上报？”
他回忆起袭击发生后几天自己在现场的经历。霍利描述称，克罗克斯从屋顶向舞台开枪时，他可以轻而易举地爬上那座屋顶，并指责当天在场的多个地方和联邦执法机构之间“没有协调”。
“我的意思是，这太离谱了。而且我仍然认为我们没有得到全面的调查结果，”霍利说。“我们目前所知的几乎所有情况都来自举报人。你知道，我们需要全面了解当天到底发生了什么。”

“听着，否则我们就有可能再次发生类似事件。我们还有可能重蹈肯尼迪遇刺案的覆辙——多年过去，我们仍然不太清楚到底发生了什么，”他继续说道。“我们欠美国人民一个真相，弄清楚到底发生了什么，以及我们需要做出哪些改进。显然，当时存在大量失职行为。”

‘How did this guy ever get onto that roof?’: New Crooks FBI docs revive questions over Trump assassination attempt
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said newly uncovered FBI documents on President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, further proved that every detail of the Butler, Pa., shooting should be released and accounted for.

Republican lawmakers were apparently blindsided this week by new documents about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump and was subsequently shot dead.
Crooks opened fire on Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., in July 2024. A bullet grazed the then-candidate’s ear, while a rally attendee was killed as he attempted to shield his family.
“During our piece that we were working on, none of the federal agencies were working with us at all. They were going to work on their own, and they told us, ‘We’re going to do ours, and then we’ll get back to you.’ So this is two years later. Nobody’s gotten back to us,” Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., who chaired a bipartisan House task force aimed at investigating the shooting, told Fox News.
“That’s under the former administration. So everything that’s under the executive branch at that time, under the Biden administration, we had no access to information at that time,” he said.
Kelly also said the House task force’s Dec. 10, 2024, report was written largely with input from local authorities and little from the federal level.

“It’s awfully strange that all the questions we asked, ‘We’ll have to get back to you on that.’ And we have very limited time, as you know, to actually get to what we wanted to. So when we finished our report, it was basically based on everything that we could gather from local law enforcement, hardly anything from the feds at that time,” Kelly said.
Fox News Digital reviewed the documents in question and found that Crooks’ father, Matthew Crooks, had searched for ways to prevent his son from accessing firearms in May 2024, roughly two months before he clambered up a rooftop in his attempt to assassinate Trump.
A source familiar with the task force’s work told Fox News Digital that the May 2024 search by Matthew Crooks was not known to House lawmakers during their investigation.

“The Task Force report corroborates that Matthew Crooks handed Thomas Crooks the rifle used in the assassination attempt on July 13, 2024,” the source said.
Kelly’s spokesman told Fox News Digital that his office was not aware of federal authorities interviewing Crooks’ family.

3 SECRET SERVICE OFFICIALS UNDER INTERNAL INVESTIGATION FOR POTENTIAL MISCONDUCT
The records were obtained by Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, as part of his ongoing inquiry into the Butler assassination attempt. So far, the records turned over to the Senate show Thomas’ actions were a surprise to his family, and his motive is still a mystery.
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee told Fox News Digital that they had yet to see the FBI documents, but argued that it was reason enough that the full details of that day in July 2024 needed to be brought to light.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a member of the panel, told Fox News Digital that the documents dump is “something that should have happened,” but there was still “so much that we don’t know about what happened.”
“I think we have got to, I’ve been saying forever now, we have got to have a full accounting of everything that happened on that day, all of the failures, law enforcement failures that occurred,” Hawley said.
I WAS AT BUTLER TWO YEARS AGO WHEN AMERICA SAW WHAT COURAGE LOOKS LIKE
When asked about Crooks’ father trying to stop him from getting access to guns, Hawley said, “This gets back to if this guy was out there, if he was, if he was displaying erratic behavior, was that reported?”

He recalled being on the ground days after the attempt. Hawley described how easily he could’ve gotten onto the rooftop from where Crooks fired off rounds toward the stage and charged that there was “no coordination” among the several local and federal law enforcement agencies present that day.
“I mean, this is just wild. And I still don’t think we’ve gotten a full accounting,” Hawley said. “Pretty much everything we know about this is from whistleblowers. You know, we need a full accounting of what really happened on that day.”

“Listen, otherwise, we run the risk of things like this happening again. And we run the risk of it turning into a, you know, JFK situation where, all of these years later, we still don’t really know what happened,” he continued. “We owe it to the American people to figure out what exactly happened and what we need to fix. Clearly, there were massive failures.”
