ABC News Correspondent Appears to Claim ‘Government Tried to Kill’ Trump in Viral Clip
ABC News correspondent Pierre Thomas was top trending on X Wednesday afternoon when he appeared to state during a televised report that “the government tried to kill” former President Donald Trump when discussing the recent assassination attempt at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally.
The statement by Thomas came Wednesday when he was discussing newly obtained body camera footage of the shooting that showed law enforcement making their way to the shooter’s location after he was killed by a sniper.
“Our audience is about to see the frantic seconds in the moments after the government tried to kill former President Trump,” Thomas appeared to have said on ABC News’s Good Morning America. “It’s all caught on police bodycam video.”
Thomas’s discussion of the footage was made the same day FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in Congress, during which he revealed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the identified Trump shooter, had looked up how far Lee Harvey Oswald was from President John F. Kennedy when he shot and killed him in 1963. Crooks’s internet search was conducted on July 6, the same day Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was announced.
