FBI Says Trump Rally Gunman Acted Alone, No Foreign Link Found

Officials cite a global investigation with full access to devices and online accounts.

Overview

  • The Bureau reports no evidence that any foreign government or individual directed, inspired, or assisted Thomas Matthew Crooks.
  • The inquiry involved 485 personnel, more than 1,000 interviews, upward of 2,000 tips, and dozens of warrants and subpoenas.
  • Investigators accessed 13 devices and about 35 linked accounts, including email hosted in Germany and Belgium, and say no encryption blocked review.
  • Officials say Crooks left no manifesto or clear motive, though limited posts in 2019–2020 referenced political violence.
  • The case shifts to a pending, inactive status after a briefing that officials say satisfied the president, as congressional critics continue to seek fuller disclosures.
