The FBI told reporters it shipped the phone to its lab in Virginia after investigators in Pennsylvania were unable to get into it.
Investigators are working to break into the phone of the man who shot at former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. The shooting is being probed as an assassination attempt. The FBI said in a statement that it had obtained the shooter’s phone “for examination.” Officials told reporters in a conference call on Sunday, as reported by The New York Times, that agents in Pennsylvania were unable to break into the phone.
Kevin Rojek, the FBI special agent in charge in Pittsburgh, told the Times and other outlets that the agency has access to some of Crooks’ text messages, but they haven’t shed much light on his beliefs. It’s not clear what brand of phone Crooks had, and the FBI did not immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
