The FBI has provided new insights into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, shedding light on the actions and planning of the would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks.
USA Today reported that the FBI revealed these details in a recent conference call briefing, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
Special Agent Kevin Rojek, in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, explained that an analysis of Crooks’ online search history showed “detailed attack planning” before the Butler, Pennsylvania rally where Trump was shot.
Despite this insight into Crooks’ activities, Rojek stated that a clear motive remains elusive.
“The FBI’s analysis into Crooks’ activities provided valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Rojek noted.
