Failed Trump Assassin Used 'Bob Dole' Alias Before Anonymous Donor Footed Bill for Cremation

A court document reveals that Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump, used an alias called 'Bob Dole' before an anonymous donor paid for his cremation. The document does not specify how he obtained the alias, but it is believed to be a reference to former Republican senator Bob Dole. As a teenager, Crooks had few friends and was largely isolated. Details about his life prior to the assassination attempt are still emerging.
