FBI Director Christopher Wray is facing questions from the House Judiciary Committee about the bureau's investigation into the Trump assassination attempt.
Wray provided details to lawmakers about the drone recovered from Crooks' vehicle, as well as explosive devices found in his vehicle and residence and the shooter's use of encrypted messaging apps on his phone.On the drone, Wray said the device and a controller were recovered from Crooks' car and are being analyzed by the FBI. He said that the shooter was flying the drone around the area — not over the stage, but roughly 200 yards away — around 3:50 p.m. and 4 p.m.
He called the devices 'relatively crude' explosives. He said the explosives had receivers that could have allowed them to be detonated remotely. Crooks himself had a transmitter, Wray noted.'At a moment, it looks like because of the on/off position on the receivers, that if he had tried to detonate those devices from the roof, it would not have worked, but that doesn't mean the explosives weren't dangerous,' Wray said.
