FBI Updates Media on Trump’s Would-Be Assassin Thomas Crooks and Motives
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is leading the federal government’s investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump from July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania that took the life of one, and seriously injured Trump and two others, confirmed certain key details about the case to media outlets in a private call today.
The FBI formally said today, on the record, that the 5 1/2 foot ladder purchased by Thomas Crooks was not used at the rally shooting. The FBI confirmed that the ladder was left behind at the home on the day of the shooting. It had previously been reported that Crooks used a 5.5 ladder to get access to the American Glass Research building, from whose roof Crooks took several shots at the President.
