FBI Says Trump Rally Gunman Acted Alone, Closes Probe

The bureau outlined a months-long probe reviewing dozens of accounts, 13 devices and more than 1,000 interviews to rebut claims of hidden evidence.

Overview

  • The FBI reported no co-conspirators or foreign ties to Thomas Matthew Crooks, stating even foreign governments played no role.
  • Investigators accessed two foreign-based email accounts in Germany and Belgium within days through partners and said no communications were beyond reach.
  • The inquiry involved 485 personnel, more than 1,000 interviews, over 2,000 tips, 10-plus search warrants and about 100 subpoenas.
  • Agents examined 35 online accounts and 13 devices tied to Crooks, denied any encryption barriers, and said documents were provided to Congress.
  • Officials cited no manifesto or clear motive; Trump was grazed, Corey Comperatore was killed, eight shots were fired with a .223 rifle, extra ammunition and an undetonated device were found in Crooks’ vehicle, and the president was briefed and described as satisfied.
