More details on the recent attempt on Donald Trump’s life…

On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to provide an update on the ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt as well as the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Wray shared that 14 firearms have been recovered from the shooter’s home as well as multiple explosive devices.

Fox News reports:

“I would say these are relatively… crude devices themselves. But they did have the ability to be detonated remotely,” he said.

“In addition to the two devices that we recovered out of his vehicle, there were receivers for those two explosive devices with the devices. And then on the shooter himself, when he was killed by law enforcement, he had a transmitter with him,” Wray revealed.

“Now, I do want to add one important point here is that at the moment… it looks like because of the on on/off position on the receivers, that if he had tried to detonate those devices from the roof, it would not have worked,” Wray added. “But that doesn’t mean the explosives weren’t dangerous.”

Wray also said: “We have recovered a drone that the shooter appears to have used. It’s being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab. The drone was recovered in his vehicle. So at the time of the shooting the drone was in his vehicle with the controller.”

Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that “it appears” Crooks was flying the drone about 200 yards away from the stage area of the Trump rally around 3:50 to 4 p.m. local time on the day of the shooting. Trump was hit with gunfire at 6:11 p.m. as the campaign event was underway.

Wray also told House lawmakers Wednesday that there are no signs Crooks had any help with the Trump assassination attempt.

“Not at this time, but again, the investigation is ongoing,” he said about the matter.

On Tuesday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle announced her resignation.

  1. FBI is probing? I call bullshit. The biden doj and China paid to have this attempt carried out. They knew the little punk was in his assigned, hand picked spot and did nothing. Now Cheadle has quit. She and the rest must be locked up especially her because she’ll go somewhere where there is no extradition.
