Overview

  • Greene, who shared a lengthy Trisha Hope post on Saturday, urged President Trump to lead the push for answers about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.
  • On Sunday she said she was not calling the attack a hoax and pressed for details on whether Crooks acted alone and why information has not been released.
  • Newsweek reported backlash to her posts, Breitbart cast her share as suggesting a hoax, and Mediaite highlighted her call for answers.
  • Officials said in July 2024 that Crooks fired from a rooftop, wounded Trump in the ear, killed attendee Corey Comperatore, and was then shot dead by a Secret Service sniper.
  • Calls for more disclosure continue as Reps. Mike Kelly and Pat Fallon accuse the FBI of stonewalling a House inquiry and as a former agent and Comperatore’s widow seek more details.
