Officials Reportedly Shared Fake News with Lawmakers — Lawmakers Were MISLED About a Supposed Chilling Message the Trump Shooter Allegedly Posted Before Assassination
CBS NEWS Senior Coordinating Producer for Crime & Public Safety, Anna Schecter, shared crucial updates on the recent controversy surrounding the alleged chilling message attributed to the Trump shooter.
This significant development reveals that federal investigators have determined the account, which had been previously linked to the shooter, was not authentic. The false message had initially been shared with lawmakers.
“CBS News has learned the account on the gaming platform ‘Steam’ that was attributed to a Thomas Matthew Crooks was a fake account, after officials initially told lawmakers that it was the shooter’s. The line ‘July 13 will be my premiere,’ was made up by whomever created the fake account, federal investigators tell CBS News,” Schecter wrote.
