Congressman Clay Higgins has released a preliminary investigative report alleging that the FBI secretly cremated the body of Thomas Crooks, the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The cremation reportedly took place just 10 days after the shooting incident on July 23rd, before a second independent examination could be conducted. The report suggests that the FBI released the body to Crooks' family without informing relevant authorities, including the Butler County Coroner and law enforcement officials. This has led to accusations of a cover-up by the FBI, as the body was cremated without the knowledge of key officials and before a thorough investigation could be completed. Rep. Clay Higgins discovered the body was gone by August 5.
