evidence: ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas did not say the "government tried to kill former President Trump," as shortened social media videos claim. In a report that aired July 24 on "Good Morning America," he used the word "gunman" several times and named the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, whom the Secret Service killed. FBI Director Christopher Wray said the continuing investigation so far has not found that Crooks had any accomplices in the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
