Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI in the investigation into the assassination attempt at the Pennsylvania rally earlier this month.
In a phone call with BBC reporters, the FBI did not give a date for the hearing, but said it would be “a standard victim hearing that we do for any other crime victim.”
“We want to get his perspective on what he observed,” FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek said.
Former US President Donald Trump, heard in the investigation regarding the assassination attempt
Despite sifting through a mountain of evidence, investigators have yet to establish a motive as to why Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on July 13.
Meanwhile, recently released text messages revealed that the 20-year-old was spotted by a local SWAT team more than 90 minutes before the attack, much earlier than previously thought.
The messages obtained by the New York Times and ABC News will add to the list of security problems that preceded the assassination attempt against the former president.
On Monday, the FBI said investigators believe Crooks had “careful planning” ahead of the July 13 rally and made “significant efforts” to conceal his activities.
This planning – which included six purchases of components for explosive devices – was carried out in a way that would have “significantly raised the suspicions of his parents”, Rojek said.
Several inquiries have been launched into what went wrong in securing the Butler Fair Show grounds on July 13.
