FBI Discovers Trump Rally Shooter's Search On JFK Assassination

The Federal Bureau of Investigation seal is seen at FBI headquarters in Washington

FBI Director Christopher Wray has revealed new details about the investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to Wray, analysis of a laptop linked to the shooter uncovered that on the day he registered for the event, Crooks searched for information related to the JFK assassination.

Specifically, on July 6th, Crooks conducted a Google search asking 'how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?' This search query has raised concerns about Crooks' state of mind leading up to the rally. Wray emphasized the significance of this finding, noting that it aligns with the timeline of Crooks' registration for the Butler rally.

The revelation of Crooks' search history sheds light on a potential motive or influence behind his actions at the Trump campaign event. The FBI continues to delve into Crooks' background and digital footprint to piece together a comprehensive understanding of the events leading up to the shooting.
