FBI Forensically Analyzing Crooks’ Phone and Laptop 24/7

The FBI is working around the clock to analyze the phone and laptop of Thomas Crooks, the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Technicians at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, have successfully gained access to Crooks’ phone and are now forensically analyzing the data.

While the motive behind the assassination attempt has not been revealed yet, the FBI continues to search for clues on Crooks’ electronic devices. Additionally, the FBI expects to release more information about the explosive device found in Crooks’ car.

In a surprising twist, a former high school counselor who knew Crooks during his time at Bethel Park High School expressed shock and disbelief at the news that Crooks was the gunman. The counselor described Crooks as a quiet and intelligent student who kept to himself and did not get into trouble.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has announced that an independent review of the Secret Service and other law enforcement actions surrounding the rally and the shooting will be conducted swiftly. The review aims to understand how the assassination attempt happened and will make findings and recommendations public.

As the investigation into the assassination attempt continues, new details are emerging, including the discovery of a Home Depot receipt for a ladder found on the gunman. Officials are looking into whether the ladder was used in the shooting.

The House Oversight Committee has also formally requested documents from the Secret Service as part of its investigation into the assassination attempt. The committee plans to hold a hearing on the attack next Monday to gather more information from Director Kimberly Cheatle.

Overall, the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Trump is ongoing, with law enforcement agencies working tirelessly to uncover the motives and circumstances behind the attack.
