Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active duty Green Beret, has been identified as the suspect behind the New Year’s Day bombing outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Livelsberger, who served in the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, is believed to have pro-Ukraine sympathies and a history of recruiting foreign fighters for the war in Ukraine.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed that the attack appears politically motivated. “This is a Tesla truck, and we know Elon Musk is working with President-elect Trump,” McMahill said, referencing the Cybertruck used in the bombing. Authorities are investigating Livelsberger’s ties to both Ukraine and anti-Trump activities.

Everyone take a close look at the Ukraine shirt Matthew Livelsberger is wearing in this picture.

And now, new photo surfaces from LinkedIn that he inquired about “a job” in Ukraine as well.

Social media posts allegedly belonging to Livelsberger reveal his involvement in recruiting for Ukraine, offering $550 per day plus travel and lodging to potential recruits. A 2016 photo shows Livelsberger wearing a “Slava Ukraini” shirt, a slogan meaning “Glory to Ukraine.” The image was reportedly shared by his wife, Sarah Livelsberger.

BREAKING: The family of the Las Vegas attacker claims he was a Trump fan.

His uncle claimed: 'He loved Trump, and he was always a very, very patriotic soldier, a patriotic American. It’s one of the reasons he was in Special Forces for so many years. It wasn’t just one tour of… pic.twitter.com/36QsMR0LTO

🚨 #BREAKING: Las Vegas Police say the Trump Cybertruck Bomber was identified by a military ID and passport found in the vehicle, because his body was burned “beyond recognition.”

So somehow a paper passport and military ID survived the explosion? pic.twitter.com/UfC0ORTY2T

Apparently Elon Musk needs to build his cybertrucks out of paper military IDs and paper passports … they’re indestructible.

Mrs. Livelsberger’s social media history also raises red flags, with past posts expressing extreme hostility toward President Donald Trump. In one 2015 post, she stated that following Trump’s social media made her “want to kill someone.” These posts have drawn scrutiny as investigators probe possible motives for the attack.

Wait one minute?!! You mean to tell me the explosion and fire in the Cybertruck completely destroyed an all steel .50 Cal Desert Eagle and an AR-15, but somehow a plastic Military ID and a fully intact paper Passport survived with only minor burns?!

HOW???🤔 pic.twitter.com/LpxcT4WB3F

Authorities just found an intact passport in a Tesla Cybertruck that literally melted along with its driver. It’s giving serious déjà vu to the 9/11 hijacker passport that magically survived a skyscraper’s fiery collapse. If the government’s claims are legit —and of course, my… pic.twitter.com/OpSgemK3TH

What if Matthew Livelsberger was taken out in Colorado, and his passport and badge were stolen to frame him?

Why would he have both his passport and badge with him instead of just his driver’s license?

His body was allegedly unidentifiable in the Cybertruck outside Trump Tower… pic.twitter.com/NQruRb0QCr

Authorities noted similarities between Livelsberger and Ryan Routh, a failed presidential assassin who also recruited for Ukraine. Routh reportedly visited Fort Bragg, where Livelsberger was stationed, over 100 times, though it is unclear if the two men were connected.

I don’t know anyone who even carries their passport if they are not traveling internationally. This guy just happened to have his on him and it’s apparently made out of the same material as the Cybertruck… pic.twitter.com/uBekKHOJXs

One of the failed Trump assassins, Ryan Routh, traveled to Ukraine to volunteer to fight and assist the Ukraine army.

Livelsberger’s military background and pro-Ukraine sentiments are central to the ongoing investigation as officials work to determine the full scope of his motives and any additional connections to extremist networks.
