WASHINGTON — FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Wednesday that a laptop tied to the Trump rally gunman included a Google search of “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?”
WASHINGTON — Just hours before opening fire, the gunman in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump flew a drone roughly 200 yards from the rally stage where the Republican former president would later stand, viewing and livestreaming the footage, FBI Director Christopher Wray told congressional lawmakers on Wednesday.
The details about Crooks' use of a drone just hours before Trump took the stage for the rally add to the questions about the security lapses preceding the event. The hearing had been scheduled well before the July 13 shooting as part of the committee’s routine oversight of the FBI and the Justice Department, and though lawmakers may touch on a broad array of topics, questions about the shooting are expected to dominate the session.
Though the FBI has avoided the same level of scrutiny over the shooting directed at the Secret Service over security failures that preceded the shooting, culminating Tuesday in the resignation of Director Kimberly Cheatle, Wray is likely to be questioned by lawmakers skeptical of the bureau’s assessment that Crooks left behind no obvious ideological motive that could explain his actions.
