Podcaster Dan Bongino angrily fired back at Tucker Carlson over a wild claim that the former FBI deputy director told him that President Donald J. Trump personally shut down an investigation into his attempted assassination at Butler, PA. During a Thursday interview with Mario Nawfal that blew up on social media, Carlson said that a “terrified” and “hysterical” Bongino told him that it was Trump who put the kibosh on probing the July 13, 2024 incident when would be assassin Thomas Crooks opened fire on the then-GOP candidate, grazing his ear before being taken out.
