Investigators remain puzzled about possible motives for Saturday's attempted assassination of the former president, finding little to point to political or ideological intentions for the attack.

These details were among those shared by FBI and US Secret Service officials in a Wednesday briefing with lawmakers and by additional people familiar with the investigation. The previously unreported readout documents the scope of the investigation, including an expanded timeline of the would-be assassin's actions leading to up his assault and law enforcement's failure to prevent it.
Unlike other mass shooters who often leave behind manifestos or writings to explain their attack, Crooks left behind few clues, in his bedroom or online. Investigators have focused on Crooks' online activity in the months and days before the attack. Family members and people he worked with described him as quiet and a loner but haven't indicated that he showed any signs of planning an attack. In April, he searched websites for information on major depressive disorder and depressive crisis treatment.
