New Questions Surface in Trump Butler Investigation as FBI Responds

The MeidasTouch Podcast23mJune 13, 2026
AI-Generated Summary

The MeidasTouch Podcast dives into a growing web of contradictions surrounding the July 13, 2024, alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump, revealing a coordinated effort by the FBI and intelligence agencies to suppress critical evidence. Despite Tom Fitton—former ally and head of Judicial Watch—successfully obtaining heavily redacted FBI and DOJ documents via FOIA, the FBI has launched a smear campaign branding him as 'clickbait' and 'fake news.' Yet the documents themselves, even in redacted form, appear to validate Fitton’s claims: a Butler County deputy exchanged emails with the alleged shooter, Thomas Crooks, and a gray remote device with an antenna was recovered post-attack. The episode exposes a pattern of distraction—releasing UFO files, Tulsi Gabbard’s conspiracy-laden final act about U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine, and false narratives about Crooks’ autopsy—while withholding the real evidence. The medical examiner who performed Crooks’ autopsy is revealed to be a dual Israeli-American citizen with ties to controversial figures, and the toxicology report was incomplete, with bullet fragments left in the body and no hair testing conducted. Trump’s own statements about his ear injury—downplaying a bullet wound as a 'tiny little mark'—raise further questions about the official narrative.
