The gunman who nearly killed Donald Trump last weekend had also searched for information about Joe Biden, according to a report from The New York Times.
In a private briefing with members of Congress on Wednesday, FBI officials updated lawmakers on their investigation into Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who tried to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, The Times reported.
The officials told lawmakers that investigators searched through Crooks’s browsing history on two of his phones and at least one laptop, according to The Times, which spoke with people who were on the conference call.
They found that he had looked up photos and public appearances of both Trump and Biden, The Times reported.
