A new video has been circulating on social media today that appears to capture President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, casually walking around at the rally on the day of the shooting.
The footage is allegedly from a vendor at the Trump rally who made the discovery while reviewing the videos he took that day. He posted the video on TikTok, and it went viral from there.

Newsweek reported:
In a chilling development, newly uncovered footage appears to show Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, wandering around the site of the Butler, Pennsylvania rally just hours before his deadly attack on July 13, 2024.
The video, which has surfaced on social media platforms, was reportedly captured by a small business owner selling patriotic hats at the event. The merchant, who has not been identified, made the startling discovery while reviewing their footage from that fateful day.
ADVERTISEMENTThe TikTok video, which has since gone viral, is captioned with an ominous message: “Terrifying moment… Looking back at my videos from the PA Butler Trump rally on 7/13/24… we were there just trying to sell our patriotic hats…”
The footage then transitions to a slow-motion clip of a man believed to be Crooks, with text overlay stating, “Captured a video of Thomas Matthews Crooks at 4:26pm, before the assassination attempt occurred.”
So, the big question: what was Crooks doing here exactly?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Did it have anything to do with that man wearing a blue shirt and sunglasses?
Does that guy seem suspicious to you?
How many other people do you see dressed like that (in long sleeves, pants, and shades in hot, summer weather no less?)
Now, I’m not making any claims here, I’m just saying that guy stands out.
And other people seem to agree:

I want to know, was he following the guy in the blue shirt and glasses?
