Fact Check

Fake News

Whack the Dog

A supposedly deceased FBI agent was not caught breaking into Trump Tower with an illegally silenced pistol.

Claim: The NYPD captured a supposedly deceased FBI agent breaking into Trump Tower with a silenced pistol.

FALSE

Origin:On 2 August 2016 the web site Get Off the BS published an article reporting that a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who had purportedly been killed in 2007 had just been captured during an attempt to sneak into Trump Tower that same day armed with an illegally silenced pistol:

Get Off the BS also framed Trump Tower as if it were the private residence of Donald Trump rather than as a Midtown tourist attraction at which Trump himself is rarely present. If some shadowy figure had really been targeting Trump for a violent attack, he would have been better served making use of the candidate's campaign schedule (freely available via his social media feeds) rather than breaking into Trump Tower.

You may be right, the stories I find only reference that article, but Snopes' denial looks thin.
