Investigative journalist Ken Silva revealed three significant omissions in the toxicology report for Thomas Crooks, the man who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania before the 2024 election.
Silva discussed his findings in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson on Monday.
According to Silva's reporting, Chief Medical Examiner Ariel Goldschmidt collected eight specimens from Crooks' body: four tubes of heart blood, urine, eye fluid, bile, and hair. But the final toxicology report excludes three samples: bile, one blood tube, and the hair envelope.
He obtained the report through months of legal battles and initially found nothing of value, until an online detective flagged the incompleteness, Silva explained.
“So I don't know what to make of it, but these samples, you could argue, would have shown evidence of some kind of, perhaps, psychotropic drug use,” Silva said.
“I don't know.”
Silva also argued the omissions raise questions about what information might be hidden in those untested specimens.
In addition to recently obtained FBI records showing Crooks exchanged two emails with a Butler County Sheriff deputy before the assassination attempt, the interest in the report's gaps reveals the late 20-year-old's actions still hold the interest of many MAGA followers.
