FBI fires back at claims it released Crooks' body for cremation days after Trump assassination attempt
Fox News
The FBI released the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks for cremation just 10 days after he tried to kill former President Donald Trump, a GOP congressman has revealed in a report highly critical of the agency.
Higgins, a former police chief, is looking into the deadly July 13 incident as part of a bi-partisan congressional task force and made the claims in a stunning preliminary report which is highly critical of the FBI’s investigation into the matter. Higgins says the releasing of the body, and other claims of bad practice leveled at the FBI, amounts to an "obstruction to any following investigative effort." Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
An FBI spokesperson tells Fox News Digital that any suggestion the agency is interfering with congressional efforts to look into the attempted assassination "is inaccurate and unfounded." You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
The agency said that Crooks' body was released to his family after coordination with the coroner's office as well as state and local law enforcement partners "in keeping with normal procedures."
