Media Miss by the left: Tucker Carlson challenges FBI narrative on alleged Trump shooter
Political commentator Tucker Carlson is accusing the FBI of purposely lying about the online activity of Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who grazed Trump’s ear during an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally in July.
In a new video, Carlson says he obtained social media posts and files allegedly tied to Crooks, including items from his Google Drive and YouTube, that he claims show a pattern of violent rhetoric. Carlson argues this contradicts the FBI’s statements that Crooks had limited online activity.
“Why is the FBI keeping Crooks’ views a secret?” Calson said in the video. “Why are they ignoring congressional subpoenas to divulge information? Why are they pretending that there’s nothing to see here? And more than anything, what are they hiding?”
FBI Director Kash Patel refuted Carlson’s accusation in a social media post, saying that the bureau’s investigation found Crooks had “limited online and in-person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.”

Media Miss by the right: Former Prince Andrew accused of ‘hiding’ from Epstein inquiry
Former Prince Andrew of the U.K. is being accused of “hiding” from the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. They gave him until Nov. 20 to respond to a deposition request, but so far, he has not.
The committee says they’ve uncovered financial records showing the former Duke of York paid for “massages” and other services tied to Epstein-linked individuals. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., told The Guardian that he believes Andrew is “hiding,” adding that ignoring the summons won’t make the questions go away.
