Donald Trump to be Interviewed by FBI in Pennsylvania Assassination Attempt
Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI as part of the investigation into an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania earlier this month. The interview with the 2024 Republican presidential candidate is expected to be part of the FBI’s standard protocol for interviewing federal crime victims as part of an investigation. The FBI stated that Trump was targeted by a bullet or bullet fragments at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
Details of the Investigation
“We wanted to get his perspective on what he observed,” said Kevin Rojack, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office. Rojack revealed his planned conversations with Trump while disclosing new information about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Internet searches showed that Crooks had concerns about mass shootings, power plants, improvised explosive devices, and an attempted assassination of the Slovak Prime Minister earlier this year.
Despite conducting hundreds of interviews, the FBI has been unable to establish a clear motive for the shooting. However, the portrait that emerged was of Crooks as a reclusive loner whose main social circle was his family. Rojack mentioned that Crooks’ parents have been very cooperative with the investigation, and extensive planning leading up to the shooting was done online. The parents claimed they had no knowledge of Crooks’ plans, which investigators had no reason to doubt, according to the FBI.
Status of the Investigation
The FBI’s investigation into the assassination attempt is ongoing, with Trump’s forthcoming interview expected to shed more light on the incident. The agency is determined to uncover the motives behind the attack and ensure that justice is served. As more details emerge from the investigation, the public will gain a clearer understanding of the events surrounding the attempted assassination in Pennsylvania.
Overall, the collaboration between law enforcement agencies, federal authorities, and key witnesses such as Trump is crucial in uncovering the truth behind such heinous crimes. The FBI remains committed to thorough investigative procedures and upholding justice in cases of violent acts against public figures.
