Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy provided chilling details after a report this week indicated a possible connection between President Donald Trump\u2019s would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, and Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing Turning Point USA\u2019s Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n
\u201cInsisting there is nothing helpful in Thomas Crooks\u2019 digital footprint, there are newly discovered posts believed to be linked to Crooks showing him with guns and showing him with an affinity for assassins. There is a new push to visit bipartisan congressional investigation as investigators claim they were never briefed about any Crooks posts,\u201d Doocy said on Fox & Friends while outside the White House.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to know everything there is to know about this country. I think our country deserves it. I think our family deserves it. I think the world deserves it. By the way, forked credibility of the Secret Service, and I love men and women of the Secret Service, dear friends, better get the real story up. Lack of information could be<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople at the FBI said the president assured them he is satisfied with the investigation of what he has been told. What are you to believe? People who brief the president or Miranda, Levine of the New York Post, or both, or maybe the president changed his mind,\u201d co-host Brian Kilmeade said.<\/p>\n
New reporting indicates a connection between Crooks and Robinson.<\/p>\n
TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the development is \u201ca five-alarm fire,\u201d responding Monday on social media to a report by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.<\/p>\n
Devine highlighted Crooks\u2019 online interest in transgenderism and the \u201cfurry\u201d subculture.\u00a0Robinson\u2019s roommate was described as his transgender partner, who also reportedly had a furry fetish.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/p>\n
\u201cCrooks was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper, but not before he killed rallygoer Corey Comperatore, 50, and seriously wounded David Dutch, 58, and James Copenhaver, 75, who were sitting in the bleachers behind Trump,\u201d Devine wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something very wrong with the official story and that invites conspiracy theories,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Devine added that a source revealed new details from Crooks\u2019 digital footprint, including posts showing he shifted from enthusiastically pro-Trump to openly hostile toward the former president and his supporters beginning in 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you people call others sheep, but you are [too] brainwashed to realize how dumb you are,\u201d he wrote on Feb. 26, 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean literally you guys sound like a cult at times.\u201d<\/p>\n
In August 2020, Crooks posted that \u201cthe only way to fight the gov is with terrorism style attacks,\u201d urging followers to bomb essential buildings and assassinate political leaders.<\/p>\n
Rod Swanson, a former senior FBI agent and former chief of investigations for Nevada during the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, said there is no scenario in which the FBI would have missed Crooks\u2019 online behavior.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how ridiculous the allegation, no matter if it\u2019s COVID or not, somebody is going to knock on somebody\u2019s door,\u201d Swanson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they investigated that kid there\u2019s a record of it and there\u2019s an assessment that some leader made that this was not a threat or it rose to a level and they did something else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Devine also noted Crooks\u2019 identification with \u201cthey\/them\u201d pronouns on the art platform DeviantArt, a major hub for the furry community.<\/p>\n
She wrote that he showed a deep interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often associated with sexual themes.<\/p>\n
Lance Twiggs, Robinson\u2019s roommate, was also reportedly involved in the furry subculture.<\/p>\n
Turning Point USA\u2019s Jack Posobiec said Robinson\u2019s trial should be televised.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s questions coming out about the strange relationship between Lance Twiggs and Tyler Robinson,\u201d Posobiec said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrug use, obsessions with ChatGPT, the furry lifestyle, black market HRT (hormone treatment).\u201d<\/p>\n
Both the Crooks and Robinson cases appear to involve similar underlying mental health struggles.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration is advancing plans to restore the Pentagon\u2019s original name, the Department of War, according to the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n
While the change would likely require congressional approval, the White House is weighing alternatives. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has introduced an amendment to the annual defense policy bill to rename the department, signaling some congressional backing.<\/p>\n
A Pentagon spokesperson said the title \u201cDepartment of War\u201d better reflects the military\u2019s offensive capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs President Trump said, our military should be focused on offense \u2013 not just defense \u2013 which is why he has prioritized warfighters at the Pentagon instead of DEI and woke ideology. Stay tuned!\u201d said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly.Trump previously publicly pondered changing the Defense Department\u2019s name back to the War Department a few days ago. The government\u2019s largest federal entity was called the War Department from the country\u2019s founding to the late 1940s, following World War II.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt used to be called the Department of War and it had a stronger sound,\u201d Trump\u00a0said. \u201cWe want defense, but we want offense too \u2026 As Department of War we won everything, we won everything and I think we\u2019re going to have to go back to that.\u201d<\/p>\n
President George Washington\u2019s first Cabinet included just four departments: State under Thomas Jefferson, Treasury under Alexander Hamilton, the Attorney General\u2019s office under Edmund Randolph, and the War Department, led by Continental Army General Henry Knox.<\/p>\n
The War Department remained until 1947, when it was reorganized into the Departments of the Army, Air Force, and Navy. The Navy Department, first established in 1798, had previously operated under the War Department\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n
After World War II, President Harry Truman pushed for a unified defense structure to better coordinate U.S. military affairs. In July 1947, he signed the National Security Act, creating the National Military Establishment and establishing the National Security Council, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the U.S. Air Force.<\/p>\n
All of these entities were placed under the National Military Establishment, with James Forrestal confirmed by the Senate as its first director the day after it was created. In 1949, the NME was officially renamed the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n
The director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was dismissed last week after the agency prepared a preliminary bomb-damage assessment \u2014 later leaked to the media \u2014 that indicated U.S. strikes on Iran had delayed the country\u2019s nuclear program by only a few months.<\/p>\n
Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who had led the DIA since February 2024, \u201cwill no longer serve as DIA director,\u201d a senior defense official\u00a0told\u00a0the New York Post.<\/p>\n
Deputy Director Christine Bordine is now listed as acting director on the agency\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly fired Kruse over a \u201ca loss of confidence\u201d in the lieutenant general, two congressional officials told the New York Times.<\/p>\n
The DIA\u2019s classified, \u201clow confidence\u201d assessment of the June 21 airstrikes on Iran\u2019s Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear sites was leaked to CNN three days after U.S. B-2 stealth bombers and cruise missiles targeted the facilities.<\/p>\n
An official said the assessment was based on limited intelligence collected the day after the strike. The document reportedly concluded that Iran could restore elements of its nuclear program within one to two months and that its stockpile of enriched uranium had not been destroyed in the airstrikes.<\/p>\n
The leak drew sharp anger from President Donald Trump and other senior administration officials. In a Truth Social post, Trump described the leak as \u201cAN ATTEMPT TO DEMEAN ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MILITARY STRIKES IN HISTORY.\u201d He added in all caps: \u201cTHE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED!\u201d<\/p>\n
Special envoy Steve Witkoff dismissed claims that the United States failed to achieve its military objectives in Iran, calling such suggestions \u201ccompletely preposterous\u201d during an interview on Fox News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
