0:57Now PlayingFBI Director Christopher Wray said the gunman who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump did a Google search for “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?”
Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Wray said in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that the agency analyzed a laptop and other electronic devices belonging to the 20-year-old gunman in the wake of the July 13 shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Wray added that the early stages of the agency’s investigation found that the gunman appeared to be interested in public figures. Starting somewhere around July 6, the gunman became focused on Trump and his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Responding to questions from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., about the FBI's investigation, Wray said that “a lot of the usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive or ideology.”
Wray's testimony came a day after Kimberly Cheatle, director of the U.S. Secret Service at the time of the assassination attempt, stepped down. Members on both sides of the aisle called for Cheatle's resignation during her Monday testimony before the House Oversight Committee. Cheatle repeatedly cited ongoing investigations as a reason she could not provide more details to lawmakers.
