The Facts

  • FBI officials investigating last month's attempted assassination of former Pres. Donald Trump have ruled out any co-conspirators or any indication that the attack was directed by a foreign entity. However, they added, the motive of the gunman remains unknown.

  • At a briefing for reporters on Wednesday, Kevin Rojek, head of the FBI's Pittsburgh field office, indicated a number of online search terms for 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks before he fired eight shots at Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. New images and details of what transpired that day were also disclosed.

  • While investigations, which are ongoing, gave the FBI a "clear idea of mindset," Rojek said: "We are not ready to make any conclusive statements regarding motive at this time."
