The father of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin spoke publicly for the first time since his son’s attack, speaking tersely with reporters who appeared to ambush him outside a grocery store.
The Fox News reporters approached Matthew Crooks, 51, and shouted questions about his son, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, as he pushed a grocery cart full of bagged items, Crush soda, and water to his vehicle Monday.
“Matthew, why would your son want to kill the president?” a reporter during the interaction, which was recorded.
