The FBI has linked Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, to a social media account purportedly filled with anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Despite initial reports that investigators had found no threatening posts on Crooks' social media accounts, Deputy Director Abbate claimed new evidence had surfaced.
"Something just very recently uncovered that I want to share is a social media account which is believed to be associated with this shooter," Abbate said.
"While the investigative team is still working to verify this account to determine if it did in fact belong to the shooter, we believe it important to share and note it today, particularly given the general absence of other information to date from social media and other sources of information that reflect on the shooter's potential motive and mindset."
The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified "social media account" in 2019/2020 that posted "anti-immigrant and anti-semitic" content.
This is not consistent with Gab's understanding of the shooter's motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account "EpicMicrowave" which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.
Torba's response included a partial release of the EDR, which the FBI states, "FBI investigative efforts identified several E-Mails, Telephones, and One Possible GAB account associated with Crooks.
