The FBI director's testimony on
The FBI director's testimony on Capitol Hill provided new details into the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
Federal investigators said Thomas Matthew Crooks fired from a roof near the rally, wounding Trump and two supporters, and killing a former fire chief in the crowd, identified as Corey Comperatore.
While testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed the shooter never used a ladder to get onto the roof.
Wray explained "we now believe that the subject climbed onto the roof using some mechanical equipment on the ground and vertical piping on the side of the building. He added, "in other words, we do not believe he used a ladder to get up there."
Investigators initially said evidence pointed to Crooks purchasing a ladder prior to the attack, but added that no ladder was found near the scene.
Wray also revealed that a post on a gaming website believed to be from Crooks prior to the attack was actually someone pretending to be the shooter.
The Associated Press reported that the gunman conducted a Google search of “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” about one week prior to the shootng.
Mike Harrigan, a retired chief of the FBI's Firearms Training Program joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the testimony and the overall investigation.
