Thomas Mathew Crooks, a twenty-year-old who attempted to kill former US President Donald Trump, looked up the specifics of John F. Kennedy’s killing online.
Two hours prior to the incident, Crooks used his laptop to look up information about Kennedy’s shooting and to fly a drone over the vicinity of the rally.
Christopher Wray, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, made this revelation on Wednesday.
During the Trump rally congressional hearings, Wray revealed this information.
Crooks made an attempt on Trump’s life on July 13 at a Butler, Pennsylvania, presidential campaign rally.
Even though Crook fired multiple shots and missed his target, Secret Service agents quickly killed him.
Nevertheless, Wray stated during the lengthy House Judiciary Committee hearing that Crooks used a gun with a collapsible stock and that he climbed the building rather than using a ladder to reach the roof.
According to Wray, he searched Google on July 6th to find out how far away Oswald was from Kennedy.
That’s a search that is clearly important for understanding his mental health.
“It appears he registered for the Butler rally on that same day.”
Crooks “was flying the drone around the area” of the event, Wray disclosed, about 200 yards from the stage, “about 4 p.m.”
