Washington: Former US President Donald Trump has agreed to be questioned by the FBI as part of the investigation into the murderous attack on him in Pennsylvania earlier this month. A special agent gave this information on Monday. This questioning of the Republican presidential candidate is part of the FBI’s standard protocol of talking to victims during criminal investigations. After questioning Trump, a lot can be clarified about the attack on him.
‘Interrogating the victim is a standard’
The FBI said on Friday that Trump was hit by a bullet or part of a bullet during an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said, “We want to know his perspective on what he has seen.” He said that questioning the victim is a standard and “we would do it with any other victim under any other circumstances.”
Important information has been received
Let us tell you that, Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Ray recently told lawmakers that information has been found from the laptop of the person who attacked former President Donald Trump that before carrying out the incident, he had searched on Google, “How far away was Oswald, who killed Kennedy, standing?” He had told that Oswald is actually a reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, who killed then President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on 22 November 1963.
What did Christopher Ray say
Christopher Ray had told during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee that Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired a gun at Trump’s rally, had clearly tried to get this information on Google on July 6. He told that Crooks carried out the shooting incident on Republican Party’s presidential candidate Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, a week after this. The agency has also prepared a detailed timeline of Crooks’ activities and online activity.
Visited the rally site
Christopher Ray had said that the motive behind why Republican presidential candidate Trump was targeted is not yet known. The FBI believes that Crooks carried out this attack alone. Crooks had visited the rally site a week before the incident and stayed there for about 20 minutes. Ray had said that more than 2 hours before the shooting, Crooks flew a drone about 200 yards from the rally platform for about 11 minutes.
