Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Father Speaks Out for First Time After Son Tried to Assassinate Ex- Prez
The father of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks has revealed the family is just trying to “take care of ourselves” — as he stepped out in public for the first time since the shooting.
Matthew Brian Crooks, 53, made the remarks as he was spotted leaving a grocery store on Monday, Fox News reported.
“We just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space,” Crooks said as he loaded bag-loads of items into his car.
“We’re going to release a statement when our legal counsel advises us to do so – until then, we have no comment.”
It marks the first time the dad has spoken out since his 20-year-old son opened fire with an AR-15 rifle during Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Father Speaks Out for First Time After Son Tried to Assassinate Ex- Prez” HERE)
