Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump last Saturday, was possibly considering both the former president and Joe Biden as targets, according to FBI officials who briefed members of Congress in wake of the attack.
Sources who participated in a conference call with lawmakers told The New York Times that the FBI searched through the browsing history on Crooks' laptop and two phones, among other devices, uncovering web searches related to the two candidates and signaling concerns about his own mental state. At one point, Crooks searched "major depressive disorder" on one of his cellphones.
