Crooks’ friends and family were equally stunned by his actions, with many describing him as quiet and reserved, a kid who seemed to be heading toward a normal life.

Bombshell allegation exposed.

Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins has dropped a bombshell, revealing a disturbing detail that has left many questioning the FBI’s role in the investigation.

According to Higgins, the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks—the 20-year-old who fired a shot at Trump—has mysteriously disappeared.

This shocking revelation came after Higgins personally requested to view Crooks’ body during his own investigation into the incident.

Higgins wanted answers, and on August 5, he traveled to Butler for a closer look.

But when he arrived, Crooks’ body wasn’t there.

Higgins was told that the body had already been released, even though the investigation was far from over.

Higgins, a former police captain turned congressman, was stunned.

He reported that not only had Crooks’ body been cremated, but that it had been done without informing local law enforcement or even the county coroner.

“Nobody knew,” Higgins said. “Not the coroner, not the police.”

advertisement

  via Getty  

He accused the FBI of foul play, alleging that their ‘scorched earth’ tactics were hindering the investigation at every turn.

Cremation controversy revealed.

According to Higgins, Crooks’ body had been released for cremation just 10 days after the shooting.

This is despite the fact that local authorities still had legal authority over the remains.

Higgins claims the agency’s actions have created more questions than answers.

advertisement

  via Getty  

In his report, submitted to Congress on August 12, he accused the FBI of obstructing justice by removing the body without proper notification.

Investigation hits wall.

Now, without the body, Higgins argues it’s nearly impossible to conduct a thorough investigation.

Crooks’ body is gone, and with it, the opportunity for crucial answers.

As the investigation continues, Higgins’ allegations have cast a dark shadow over the FBI’s role in what may be one of the most shocking political events in recent memory.
