FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that an analysis of a laptop tied to Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, revealed a significant Google search. On July 6th, Crooks searched 'How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?', referencing Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. This search occurred on the same day Crooks registered for a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Wray emphasized the importance of this search in understanding Crooks' state of mind leading up to the attempted assassination.
