Thomas Matthew Crooks, who is accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, was found with two cell phones and three encrypted accounts he used to communicate with contacts abroad.
The FBI discovered Crooks’ second cell phone at his home, which contained just 27 contacts, according to The Daily Mail.
Congressman Mike Waltz told Fox News host Jesse Watters that, according to an FBI briefing, Crooks had multiple encrypted accounts and more information will be revealed on Monday.
Rep. Mike Waltz stated that the Trump shooter had overseas accounts at the same time the Iranian assassination plot against Trump came to light.
Jesse Watters asked if the two incidents were connected, but they were not.
Intelligence agencies leaked the story of an Iranian assassination plot to CNN to create chaos and divert attention from the Secret Service’s failures on Saturday.
Thomas Matthew Crooks did not act alone.
After a Secret Service sniper fatally shot Thomas Matthew Crooks on a rooftop outside of Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, police found a cell phone and a bomb detonator next to him.
“Channel 11’s Nicole Ford also obtained exclusive photos showing the cell phone and transmitter device found next to Crooks moments after a Secret Service sniper shot and killed him,” WPXI reported.
The Wall Street Journal and CNN previously reported that Crooks had explosives in his Hyundai Sonata, which was parked near the rally.
The specifics of the explosives remain unknown.
However, CNN reports that investigators found no evidence of Crooks researching how to assemble homemade explosives online.
“It’s unclear how Crooks assembled the explosive devices found in his car. Investigators parsing through his online search history haven’t found any indication of him researching how to make home-made explosives, law enforcement officials said,” CNN noted.
The so-called “security lapses” and the details of the assassination attempt against Trump raise questions about how Thomas Matthew Crooks managed to execute the plan on his own.
As we already reported, Crooks bought a 5-foot ladder from Home Depot on the morning of the assassination attempt.
It’s unclear how Crooks knew he would need a ladder to access a rooftop with a clear line of sight to President Trump. Although he purchased a 5-foot ladder from Home Depot, the ladder photographed at the scene is larger than the one he bought.
The media is portraying Crooks as a “lone wolf” and “domestic terrorist,” but there is evidence suggesting he did not act alone.
