Rifle of the alleged shooter who tried to kill Trump was legally bought by the father

The rifle that Thomas Matthew Crooks allegedly used to try to assassinate former President Donald Trump was legally acquired by the attacker’s father, investigative sources reported to Fox News.

Sources involved in the investigation indicated the AR-15 rifle that was found in the lifeless body of Crooks, 20 years old, was acquired by his father totally legally.

Other sources of local security forces indicated that they have found two devices with explosive material in the vehicle of the suspect in the assassination attempt, as well as at his home in Bethel Park (Pennylvania).

Crooks was killed by the Secret Service after shooting several times from an elevated position on a roof of a building on one floor near the stage where Trump participated in a rally in the town of Butler (Pennsylvania) about an hour away from his home.

One of the shots hit Trump in the right ear, but the former president left the stage walking, with his fist up and surrounded by Secret Service agents.

In the shooting, a rally assistant died and two adult men were seriously injured.

Former Republican former and candidate Donald Trump assured this Sunday in a comment on the social network Truth Social that he is not “afraid” and will remain strong and “defiant” after the assassination attempt he survived last afternoon at a rally in Butler (Pennsylvania).

“Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers yesterday. It is as if it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will not be AFRAID, but we will remain strong in our faith and defiant in the face of evil,” said the former president, who is in New Jersey.

The president, as he did on Saturday, referred to the family of the fatal victim as well as the injured people, about whom he asked for his early recovery.

“At this moment, it is more important than ever that we stay united and show our true character as Americans, staying strong and determined and not allowing evil to win,” he added.

Trump pointed out that he hopes to be part of the Republican National Convention to be held in Wisconsin, which begins tomorrow and on Thursday he plans to make official his nomination as the party’s candidate in next November’s elections.

In a previous message on his social network, Trump explained that the bullet that the shooter shot pierced the top of his right ear.

“I immediately knew that something was wrong because I heard a buzz, gunshots and I immediately felt the bullet going through the skin,” he said.

Trump urges Putin to reach peace deal

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his desire for Russian President Vladimir Putin to “reach a deal” to end the war in Ukraine, while also reaffirming his willingness to impose sanctions on Russia.

“I want to see him reach an agreement to prevent Russian, Ukrainian, and other people from dying,” Trump stated during a press conference in the Oval Office at the White House.

“I think he will. I don’t want to have to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil,” the Republican leader added, recalling that he had already taken similar measures against Venezuela by sanctioning buyers of the South American country’s crude oil.

Trump also reiterated his frustration over Ukraine’s resistance to an agreement that would allow the United States to exploit natural resources in the country—a condition he set in negotiations to end the war.

Deportation flight lands in Venezuela; government denies criminal gang links

A flight carrying 175 Venezuelan migrants deported from the United States arrived in Caracas on Sunday. This marks the third group to return since repatriation flights resumed a week ago, and among them is an alleged member of a criminal organization, according to Venezuelan authorities.

Unlike previous flights operated by the Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, this time, an aircraft from the U.S. airline Eastern landed at Maiquetía Airport, on the outskirts of Caracas, shortly after 2:00 p.m. with the deportees.

Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, who welcomed the returnees at the airport, stated that the 175 repatriated individuals were coming back “after being subjected, like all Venezuelans, to persecution” and dismissed claims that they belonged to the criminal organization El Tren de Aragua.

However, Cabello confirmed that “for the first time in these flights we have been carrying out, someone of significance wanted by Venezuelan justice has arrived, and he is not from El Tren de Aragua.” Instead, he belongs to a gang operating in the state of Trujillo. The minister did not disclose the individual’s identity or provide details on where he would be taken.

Son of journalist José Rubén Zamora condemns father’s return to prison as “illegal”

Guatemalan court decides Wednesday whether to convict journalist José Rubén Zamora

The son of renowned journalist José Rubén Zamora Marroquín, José Carlos Zamora, has denounced as “illegal” the court order that sent his father back to a Guatemalan prison on March 3, after already spending 819 days behind barsover a highly irregular money laundering case.

“My father’s return to prison was based on an arbitrary and illegal ruling. It is also alarming that the judge who had granted him house arrest received threats,” José Carlos Zamora told EFE in an interview on Saturday.

The 67-year-old journalist was sent back to prison inside the Mariscal Zavala military barracks on March 3, when Judge Erick García upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that overturned the house arrest granted to him in October. Zamora had already spent 819 days in prison over an alleged money laundering case.

His son condemned the situation as “unacceptable”, stating that the judge handling the case “cannot do his job in accordance with the law due to threats against his life.”
