FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate disclosed on Tuesday that investigators have identified a social media account linked to Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual responsible for the shooting at a Trump rally.
Abbate revealed that the social media account in question was active between 2019 and 2020, with over 700 comments attributed to it. Some of these comments, if proven to be from the shooter, expressed anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant sentiments, as well as support for political violence, characterized as extreme in nature.
