The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump searched online about the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the FBI director said.
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, seen here in December 2023, on Wednesday gave lawmakers an update on the investigation into the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Christopher Wray gave lawmakers an update on the investigation into the July 13 shooting targeting Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. That includes information pulled from a computer linked to the 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Crooks, that suggests he spent at least a week planning the attack.
Wray’s testimony comes 11 days after the attempt on Trump’s life. He said the FBI still has found no indication of a motive or political ideology for Crooks, but he did fill in some of the details about him and the timeline ahead of the shooting.The first time was a week before the event, when he spent roughly 20 minutes there. The second time was the morning of the Trump rally, when he appears to have been on site for roughly 70 minutes, Wray said.
