FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed that the agency is still investigating how Thomas Matthew Crooks gained access to the roof of a building to target former President Donald Trump. Despite a 5-foot ladder purchase found on Crooks' body, the FBI does not believe he used it to climb onto the roof.
During a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee, Wray stated that they suspect Crooks utilized mechanical equipment and the building's piping to reach the roof on July 13. The absence of the ladder at the scene further supports this theory.
