Trump SHOOTER Googled Kennedy ASSASSINATION
The day Thomas Matthew Crooks registered to attend former President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, he looked up information about the Kennedy assassination on Google. That information was disclosed by FBI Director Christopher Wray during his appearance on Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee.
“Somewhere around July 6 or so, Crooks became very focused on former President Trump and this rally,” Wray stated to legislators.
“One of the things that I can share here today that has not been shared yet is that we’ve just in the last couple days found analysis of a laptop that the investigation ties to the shooter, which reveals that on July 6, he did a Google search for, ‘How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?’ That’s a search that obviously is significant in terms of his state of mind,” he added.
“That is the same day that it appears he registered for the Butler rally,” Wray explained.
Wray’s speech marks the third time in a short period that Congress has convened a hearing to discuss the probe into the purported Trump assassination attempt.
Kimberly Cheatle, the former director of the Secret Service, testified before the House Oversight Committee on Monday and promptly tendered her resignation. Wray’s hearing was held on Wednesday after the Pennsylvania State Police testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday.
Earlier last week, several legislators visited Butler to witness the situation firsthand. Rep. Carlos Gimenez, a Republican from Florida, captured footage of himself on Monday ascending the rooftop where Crooks fired the shots at Trump, expressing shock that the Secret Service had failed to secure it.
“And so what really bothers me, and the reason I got up on the roof — I’m 70 — was for the director to say, ‘Well, the steepness of the roof won’t allow Secret Service agents to be up there.’ That was the final straw for me,” he said.
“I could run around on that roof all day long,” Giminez added.
In the past, Cheatle had claimed that the “sloped roof” had made it impossible for Secret Service operatives to be positioned on the structure.
