During a House hearing on the assassination attempt on former President Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed that the agency had recovered and was analyzing a drone used by the shooter and discussed the specifics of some explosive devices they had found.
The gunman who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump fired at least eight shots and flew a drone around the Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally site about two hours before it began, the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation testified Wednesday. Thomas Crooks, 20, flew the drone about 200 yards away from the event’s main stage area around 4 p.m. on July 13, FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Lawmakers have demanded answers to key questions surrounding the shooting that they say remain unanswered, particularly by former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned Tuesday after apparently failing to fully cooperate with the House Oversight Committee the day before. “We need to know play-by-play, moment-by-moment, second-by-second,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Wray at the start of the Wednesday morning hearing.
