The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was forced to release heavily redacted documents that revealed Thomas Matthew Crooks, one of\u00a0 President Donald Trump\u2019s would-be assassins, had exchanged emails with a Butler County Sheriff\u2019s deputy prior to his attack on July 13, 2024.<\/p>\n

Judicial Watch forced the FBI to make dozens of documents public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, revealing that the deputy exchanged two emails with Crooks before the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The heavily redacted document was part of an FBI electronic communication titled \u201cDisc of 5 Deputies of Butler County Sheriff\u2019s Office\u201d conducted on July 16, 2024, which compiles interviews the bureau conducted with deputies.

The file indicates that a deputy had \u201cchecked her emails and records and only had two email communications\u201d from Crooks. The nature of the communication was redacted, and the unnamed deputy said she had not had any \u201cpersonal interaction\u201d with Crooks.<\/p>\n
