‘F*ck, This Is Close’: New Bodycam Footage Shows Immediate Aftermath Of Trump Assassination Attempt

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
Bodycam footage released on Thursday shows officers’ actions taken immediately before and seconds after the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The footage is taken from two officers from the Butler Township Police Department who attempted to stop the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was located on top of the American Glass Research (AGR) building with an AR-15-style weapon, Fox News first reported. The first piece of footage shows the officer with body camera footage being hoisted on top of the roof and then immediately ducking down and sprinting toward his car to grab a more powerful weapon.
“F*ck, this close, bro. Dude he turned around on me,” the officer lifted to the roof said about the shooter.
Crooks reportedly pointed his weapon at the officer before he ducked his head, according to Fox News.
“I pulled my head right in front of him, bro. He’s got a boot bag, he’s got mad s*it, an AR laying down. He’s laying down, he’s got a boot bag next to him,” the officer told the others.
Moments later, the officer demanded to be lifted onto the rooftop, where he approached three other law enforcement members. Officers can be seen standing over Crook’s corpse after counter snipers fatally shot him.
A second piece of footage shows the officer talking to another state or local law enforcement officer expressing how angry they were that they could not find Crooks. They reportedly discussed how law enforcement were on different radio frequencies, making it difficult to communicate.
“I’m f*cking p*ssed, bro. We couldn’t find him,” another officer said.

Additional footage shows an officer ordering people to exit the location as he had not confirmed Crooks was dead. Officers were unsure whether there were multiple threats at the time.
“Alright, threat one is down. Threat one is down,” an officer said over the intercom confirming Crooks’ death. “Threat one is down, we need to secure the rest of the area.”
Officers were unsure why the roof had not been occupied by law enforcement members, according to Fox News.
“I thought you were on the roof?” one officer said.
“If you’d all had a gun up there … I’d have shot him. He wouldn’t have ripped out a gun up there,” an officer said.
Footage released on July 31 showed a figure believed to be Crooks visibly walking across the roof nearly 3 minutes before the shooting occurred at 6:11 p.m EDT. The footage was taken by James Copenhaver, a victim shot twice during the incident.
The shooting injured the upper portion of Trump’s right ear and killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief, while he shielded his two daughters from the shooting. Copenhaver and 57-year-old David Dutch were also critically injured during the incident.
Whistleblowers told Republican Missouri Sen. John Hawley that Secret Service agents were initially assigned to be present on the roof but left the area due to the hot temperature. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle claimed no agents were stationed on the roof because of the unsafe “sloped roof.”
Cheatle resigned on July 23 following a joint statement from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and ranking member Jamie Raskin from July 22, which stated that she “failed to provide answers” about the “stunning operational failure” that occurred during the rally.

Dark Web Tesla Doxxers Used Widely-Popular Parking App Data To Find Targets, Analysis Shows

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Thomas English
A dark web doxxing website targeting Tesla owners and allies of Elon Musk appears to be compiled from hacked data originally stolen from a massive ParkMobile app breach in 2021, according to records obtained by a data privacy group.
The site, known as DogeQuest, first appeared in March and publishes names, home addresses, contact details and other personal information tied to Tesla drivers and DOGE staff. Marketed as a hub for anti-Musk “creative expressions of protest,” the platform has been linked to real-world vandalism and remains live on the dark web. Federal investigations into DogeQuest are already underway, the New York Post first reported.
“If you’re on the hunt for a Tesla to unleash your artistic flair with a spray can, just step outside — no map needed! At DOGEQUEST, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home,” the surface-web DogeQuest site reads. “DOGEQUEST neither endorses nor condemns any actions.”

ObscureIQ, a data privacy group, compiled a breakdown of the data — obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation — and determined 98.2% of records used to populate the site matched individuals affected by the 2021 ParkMobile breach.

DogeQuest originally appeared as a surface web doxxing hub, encouraging vandalism of Teslas and displaying names, addresses, contact details and, in some cases, employment information for roughly 1,700 individuals. The site used stolen ParkMobile records along with data purchased from brokers, flagging anyone who had a Tesla listed in their vehicle registration profile, according to ObscureIQ’s analysis.
The platform — now operating as “DogeQuest Unleashed” via a .onion dark web address — has also published personal details of high-value targets including senior military officials, federal employees and private sector executives in Silicon Valley. A spreadsheet reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation indicates several individuals targeted work areas like cybersecurity, defense contracting, public health and diplomatic policy. DOGE staff and their families appear prominently throughout the data.

No other reporting has yet tied DogeQuest directly to the ParkMobile breach, which impacted over 21 million users in 2021. The company, which facilitates cashless parking across the U.S., quietly disclosed the breach in April of that year, admitting that “basic user information” had been accessed. ObscureIQ’s research shows that exposed data included email addresses, license plate numbers and phone numbers — enough to triangulate identity when paired with commercial data brokers.
The company agreed to a $32 million settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit stemming from the data breach. The lawsuit alleged that ParkMobile failed to secure its Amazon Web Services cloud storage, allowing access to the data. Although payment data were reportedly not compromised, plaintiffs argued the exposed information still posed serious privacy risks — a claim now reinforced by its use in the DogeQuest doxxing campaign.
Despite federal attention, the site has proven difficult to keep offline, as the dark web mirror incorporates anonymized hosting methods, frustrating law enforcement takedown efforts.
The Department of Justice charged three suspects last week linked to physical attacks on Tesla vehicles, charging stations and dealerships across multiple states, though it has not publicly confirmed any link between those suspects and DogeQuest. Meanwhile, the FBI has acknowledged it is “actively working” on both the doxxing campaign and a parallel rise in swatting incidents affecting DOGE affiliates.

Europol takes out one of the largest pedophile networks in the world with almost 2 million users

From LifeSiteNews
An international group of police agencies has taken down one of the largest pedophile networks in the world with almost two million users.
Investigators from Bavaria, Germany, announced yesterday that they dismantled an online pedophile platform called “Kidflix” used to distribute child pornography that had around 1.8 million users worldwide. Police carried out raids in 31 countries and arrested 79 people in total.
The European police unit Europol coordinated the operation led by the Bavarian criminal police. Europol announced that around 1,400 suspects have been identified worldwide in “one of the biggest blows against child pornography in recent years, if not ever.”
According to Europol, the platform “Kidflix” was one of the largest pedophile networks in the world. Guido Limmer, deputy head of the Bavarian criminal police, said it was the “largest operation ever” organized by Europol. The platform’s server, with over 70,000 videos at the time, was reportedly shut down by German and Dutch authorities in early March.
The 79 people arrested were not only suspected of having watched or downloaded videos of child sexual abuse but some were also suspected of personally harming children. The police units carried out the raids from March 10 to 23 and reportedly confiscated thousands of electronic devices. In Germany alone, 96 locations were raided. Among the suspects was a 36-year-old man who not only viewed illegal material but also reportedly offered up his young son for sexual abuse. The child was given to child protection services after the man was arrested, the Bavarian police spokesman said.
Limmer also noted that one of the arrested suspects was a “serial” abuser from the United States.
According to Europol, “Kidflix” was set up by cybercriminals in 2021 and became one of the most popular platforms for pedophiles. The international police agency said that the investigation into the network began in 2022.
In October 2024, German police dismantled another large online pedophile network with hundreds of thousands of users, arresting six men associated with the platform.
Last year, Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office revealed that the cases of sexual abuse against children and adolescents had more than tripled in the past five years.
