6:28Now PlayingRep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray in a House Judiciary hearing Wednesday about the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13 at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Schiff asked the director about the FBI’s investigation so far into the 20-year-old gunman’s electronic devices.
Wray said “a lot of the usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive or ideology.” The director also added that the gunman appeared to be interested in public figures and that, starting somewhere around July 6, he became focused on Trump and his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
FBI agents also uncovered a Google search on a laptop tied to the gunman that asked, “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?”
Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy, while riding in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, Texas, in 1963.
The House Oversight Committee grilled Kimberly Cheatle, director of the U.S. Secret Service at the time of the deadly shooting, on Monday. Members on both sides of the aisle called for her resignation and she announced Tuesday she was stepping down. Cheatle repeatedly referred lawmakers seeking details to the investigation being carried out by the FBI.
