In a chilling development, authorities have uncovered the final online activity of Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old man who recently attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. FBI investigators discovered that Crooks’ last online search was for pornography, according to sources who spoke with the Daily Beast.
Crooks’ encrypted Samsung phone initially posed a significant challenge for investigators at the Pittsburgh field office, necessitating the device’s transfer to Quantico for further analysis. Despite the difficulty, FBI agents successfully accessed the phone, revealing both the pornography search and a series of texts from Crooks’ parents.
