He visited websites for how to build explosives. And in the minutes before he fired shots in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump, he screenshotted a picture from a livestream of the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.

A week before the shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks searched online for the date of the Democratic National Convention and where Trump planned to speak, as well as other searches for Trump and President Joe Biden.

These details were among those shared by FBI and US Secret Service officials in a Wednesday briefing with lawmakers and by additional people familiar with the investigation. The previously unreported readout documents the scope of the investigation, including an expanded timeline of the would-be assassin's actions leading to up his assault and law enforcement's failure to prevent it.

Investigators remain puzzled about possible motives for Saturday's attempted assassination of the former president, finding little to point to political or ideological intentions for the attack.

From what I’ve seen so far, every shot was aimed toward Trump.
