On July 13, 2024former President Donald Trump was shotat his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Since the incident, authorities have been attempting to uncover more details about what exactly happened and why.
Since the assassination attempt, the FBI has searched Crooks' two phones as well as his laptop.
Images of Trump were found on the devices along with other political figures.
Crooks reportedly downloaded photos of President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
He also had photos of only one public figure from outside of the U.S.: Kate Middleton.
However, according toNPR, the investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks hasn’t shown a particularly politically motivated person.
Members of his family shared with investigators that Crooks wasn’t one to talk about politics.
He also reportedly searched “major depressive disorder.”
The assassination attempt seemingly came out of nowhere, which makes it all the more concerning.
He noted that “the incident which took place in America was scary.”
Once it was determined that the environment was safe, the pair continued with their engagement.
He noted, however, that Charles is used to this level of security concern.
