What we now know and still don’t know about Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks

Lindsey McPherson, The Washington Times

Why Crooks built bombs he did not use is among the many mysteries lingering nearly two

months after the assassination attempt. The biggest unanswered question is Crooks’ motive for firing the bullets, one of which grazed Mr. Trump’s right ear. Another unknown is whether Crooks intended to harm anyone besides Mr. Trump or whether others were just caught in the crossfire. FBI investigators said they believe Crooks acted alone. The bureau said it had conducted nearly 1,000 interviews and analyzed hundreds of hours of video footage.
