US authorities said that the man who attempted to kill former President Donald Trump acted alone and there is no sign of foreign involvement.
But FBI officials stressed at a news briefing on Wednesday that a motive for the assassination attempt remains unknown, and they said that Thomas Crooks – the 20-year-old assailant – had a "mixture of ideologies".
The law enforcement agency described Crooks’s search history, and it released photos of the gun he used and the improvised explosive devices found in his car.
Crooks attempted to shoot the former president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on 13 July. He grazed Trump’s ear, killed one man and seriously injured two others.
