Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ father speaks out for first time after son tried to assassinate former president

The father of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks has revealed the family is just trying to “take care of ourselves” — as he stepped out in public for the first time since the shooting.

Matthew Brian Crooks, 53, made the remarks as he was spotted leaving a grocery store on Monday, Fox News reported.

“We just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space,” Crooks said as he loaded bags of items into his car.

“We’re going to release a statement when our legal counsel advises us to do so — until then, we have no comment.”
