🚨 Tucker Carlson dropped a bombshell Thursday, claiming that Dan Bongino — while still serving as FBI Deputy Director — admitted to him that Donald Trump himself ordered the investigation into the 2024 Butler assassination attempt to be SHUT DOWN!
Carlson said that after pressing Bongino about Thomas Crooks’ online presence, Bongino “became hysterical” on the phone. “He was clearly terrified,” Carlson said. After a long series of calls and texts, Bongino allegedly told him: “Take it up with Trump. He’s the one who shut down the investigation.” 
Carlson made the explosive claim during an appearance on Mario Nawfal’s podcast, stating flatly: “I know that Trump shut down the investigation into Butler. That is a fact. Dan Bongino told me that when he worked at the FBI.”
Let that sink in. The man who claimed the left was trying to assassinate him may have personally buried the investigation into his own near-murder.
Bongino fired back Friday, calling Carlson’s accusations “seriously one of the most delusional things” he’d ever heard, and sharing purported text messages to dispute the account. He also called Carlson a “nepo baby” on X. 
So either Tucker Carlson is lying about a sitting FBI official confessing to a cover-up — or Dan Bongino is lying about what he told Tucker Carlson. Either way, two of the right wing’s most prominent voices are now accusing each other of being liars about the most serious domestic security incident in years.
The truth is in the texts, Tucker says. Release them.
