Congressman Makes Claim About ‘Potential Terrorist Infiltration’ In Vegas Shooting, Offers No Evidence [VIDEO]

Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry appeared on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday and claimed that he has been “made aware” of “credible information regarding potential terrorist infiltration through the southern border” on the Las Vegas massacre.

However, Rep. Perry offered no evidence to back up this claim.

Perry said, “Recently I have been made aware of what I believe to be credible evidence, credible information regarding potential terrorist infiltration through the southern border regarding this incident.” 

Carlson asked “Terrorist…connections?” 

“Yes, sir,” Perry said.

The Daily Caller co-founder asked, “So what’s the outline of that?”

 

“Well, they could be–lets face it, ISIS twice before the attack, ISIS warned the United States that they would attack Las Vegas in June and August after the attack claimed responsibility four times. Meanwhile, the local law enforcement investigative services are telling us there is no terrorist connection–lone gunman, again, something is not adding up,” Perry replied. (RELATED: Five Huge Unanswered Questions About The Las Vegas Shooting)

Carlson said, “Well, that’s part of my confusion.” The Fox host then turned to fellow guest Catherine Lombardo, an attorney for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting, and asked, “Catherine, can you just confirm that this investigation is still being overseen by state and local authorities rather than federal?”

Lombardo said, “That’s right. The FBI and the Las Vegas metro police department have been conducting the investigation. We’ve seen no evidence of a terrorist attack, and I will ask with all due respect, congressman, unless have you specific evidence to back that up, it seems a bit irresponsible to make that allegation so, if you do, or make that assertion, if do you have any evidence of that, I’m asking you right now to share it with us and tell us what that is. My clients…”

“Well, I’m not able…” Perry responded.

“… my client, victims, all 22,000 people have been waiting and waiting and waiting for evidence,” Lombardo finished. 

Perry said, “We’ve all been waiting, and I’m waiting, too. Like I said, nothing adds up, but I’m just telling you, I have received what I feel to be and believe to be credible evidence of a possible terrorist nexus, and we’re gonna have to wait…”

Lombardo asked “What is it? What is it?”

“…until that situation develops,” Perry finished. (RELATED: Tucker Reveals Las Vegas Security Guard Left The Country Days After Shooting [VIDEO])

Perry also said during the interview that the National Counterterrorism Center should have a role in the investigation, stating, “If ISIS warns about an attack and then an attack occurs and claims responsibility after the fact, it seems to me that at a minimum, they should have some portion of the investigation to clearly debunk that claim and, yet, it hasn’t happened.”

Law enforcement officials admitted in court that there are looking into new charges against persons other than the shooter in the horrific Las Vegas massacre that took the lives of 58 people and left hundreds injured.

The admission came during a courtroom hearing as a lawyer for various media outlets argued that law enforcement authorities should unseal search warrant documents to help the Las Vegas community heal from the attack.

Nick Crosby, the lawyer representing the Las Vegas Metro Police, said that the information could not be released because additional suspects were still being investigated.

“Without naming names,” asked the judge, “there are potential charges against other people, because of the ongoing investigation?”

“Yes there are charges being investigated,” Crosby replied.

It will be months before those investigations close

When the judge asked how long it might take for the investigations to be closed, Crosby indicated that it could take as many as 60 days.

But there is another option. If the lawyer for the Metro Police cannot prove to the judge that releasing sealed information would have adverse affects on ongoing investigations, the judge may rule against them as early as next week.

Contradicting past reports

The report appeared to contradict past statements to the media from the police about whether there were more suspects than Paddock, who killed himself in the Las Vegas hotel room as police were descending upon him.

“Today is the first time we’ve heard there are additional suspects out there, this contradicts what they have been saying, [Sheriff] Lombardo has said there are no other suspects,” said media lawyer Maggie McCletchie.
