Overview
- Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified a lengthy thread on Saturday and followed up Sunday to say she is not calling the 2024 Butler shooting a hoax but wants Trump to release more on shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.
- White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed the revived theories as foolish and reiterated that officials accept the investigation’s account.
- In a final report published in 2025, the FBI concluded Crooks acted alone, and FBI Director Kash Patel said the president was fully briefed and satisfied with the findings.
- Greene’s posts echo pressure from right‑wing influencers like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Ali Alexander, as well as GOP Reps. Mike Kelly and Pat Fallon who accuse the FBI of stonewalling a House probe.
- The shooting killed Corey Comperatore, who shielded his family, and scrutiny of Secret Service lapses led to Director Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation in July 2024, keeping demands for accountability alive.
