1:43Now PlayingFBI Director Christopher Wray testified in a Wednesday congressional hearing that would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks flew a drone and livestreamed footage of the Trump rally site in Pennsylvania just hours before he shot the former president.
Wray told members of the House Judiciary Committee that Crooks operated the drone roughly 200 yards from the main stage between 3:50 and 4 p.m. on July 13, roughly two hours before Trump began his speech to supporters at the Butler Farm Show grounds.
