The FBI tapped Israeli firm Cellebrite to assist with investigation into the devices of Thomas Matthew Crooks, would-be assassin who targeted former President Trump.
The FBI has contracted the Israeli tech firm Cellebrite to help in its investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania man who tried to kill former President Trump at a rally on July 13 and mortally wounded a supporter in the crowd instead, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
While Abbate said investigators have found no information that Crooks had any co-conspirators, 'foreign or domestic,' he added that the encrypted information remains a wild card and said investigators are keeping an open mind until they get all the results back. The FBI has gained access to some of Crooks' emails, he said, but some of his encrypted communications remained unavailable.
Investigators are also continuing to examine information that they have received, including activity from social media accounts that may have been used by the gunman and espoused what Abbate called 'differing points of view.' On Friday, Trump revealed he would be returning to Butler for another rally to honor the bystander who Crooks killed with a stray bullet. Crooks fatally struck 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and critically wounded David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74.
