NBC News Justice and Intelligence Correspondent Ken Dilanian explains the latest developments on the Trump assassination attempt investigation as the congressional task force visits the site of the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON — The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump last month had searched for information on both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention before ultimately opening fire on the former president's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, FBI officials told reporters Wednesday, suggesting that the Trump event was a 'target of opportunity.
Rojek said that investigators found a 'mixture of ideologies' in the content the FBI recovered from Crooks' accounts. 'I would say that we see no definitive ideology associated with our subject, either left-leaning or right-leaning,' he said. 'It's really been a mixture and something we're still attempting to analyze and draw conclusions on.' The shooter’s family had been “extremely cooperative” with the investigation, Rojek added.
