The FBI has issued a response to allegations made by a GOP congressman regarding the handling of Thomas Matthew Crooks' body following his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Rep. Clay Higgins raised concerns about the FBI releasing Crooks' body for cremation just 10 days after the incident, sparking controversy.
The FBI refutes Higgins' claims, stating that the body was released to the suspect's family in coordination with the coroner's office and local law enforcement partners, following standard procedures. The agency emphasized that there was no interference with the investigation and that all actions were conducted transparently.
