Overview
- Officials reported no domestic or foreign assistance to Crooks after reviewing his activity and fully obtaining content from German and Belgian email accounts within days of the attack.
- The probe deployed 485 FBI personnel, conducted more than 1,000 interviews, reviewed roughly 2,000 tips, executed over 10 search warrants and about 100 subpoenas, and examined 13 devices and 35 linked accounts.
- Investigators said Crooks used a .223 rifle and fired eight rounds; they recovered 22 unfired rounds, extra magazines and a ballistic vest, plus an undetonated explosive device in his vehicle.
- No manifesto or clear motive was found, though officials noted limited political statements Crooks made online years earlier.
- FBI leaders said President Trump received a full briefing and Congress was given extensive materials, rejected cover‑up claims, and placed the case in a pending inactive status that will reopen if credible new leads emerge.
