Trump Gunman’s Search History Shines New Light on Shooting
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman who injured Donald Trump and killed another when he opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally held by the former president over the weekend, searched for both Trump and President Joe Biden—as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland and F.B.I. Director Christopher Wray—in the days before the shooting.
He also searched for the phrase “major depressive disorder,” FBI officials revealed in a briefing with members of Congress Wednesday.
The details about his actions also come as more details emerge about a chilling message he posted on a gaming platform ahead of the assassination attempt.
