A senior FBI official said on Wednesday that the FBI has a “clear idea” of the mindset of the 20-year-old man who shot Donald Trump, but added that a motive for Thomas Matthew Crooks targeting the former president at the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, remains unknown.
Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said in a media call on Wednesday that Crooks searched online for both Trump and Joe Biden events but saw the Trump Butler rally as a “target of opportunity,” the Associated Press reported.
Scripps News national correspondent Elizabeth Landers reported that the FBI’s media call revealed no new information about what ideology might have influenced Crooks, and the FBI said there is no evidence of a co-conspirator or foreign involvement.
