It was just two months ago when Thomas Matthew Crooks shot and nearly killed Donald Trump at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Ever since, the story has all but disappeared from media coverage. We know very little about the motives of that would-be assassin, whether he had assistance, and with whom he may have communicated. The DOJ hasn’t been talking, and the media aren’t asking.

Until today, however. A second attempt on Trump’s life took place on Trump’s own golf club on Sunday—but this time the suspect has been taken alive. His criminal and political history has already begun to emerge—and it raises even more questions than the first assassin’s did.  
 
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared he’ll order a separate investigation: “The people deserve the truth…” he said, and “how he was able to get within 500 yards” of Trump. We deserve those answers about the first attempt too, and like DeSantis, all Americans should be wondering why we’re not getting them—and why the media isn’t asking.
