Wray confirmed to lawmakers that a drone that Crooks was believed to have used was recovered in his vehicle.
FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed in a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday that investigators currently believe that Trump would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was live streaming footage taken by a drone of the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site ahead of the shooting.
Wray confirmed to lawmakers that a drone that Crooks was believed to have used was recovered in his vehicle, and said that that around 4 pm on the day of the shooting, "the shooter was flying the drone around the area" of the rally, not over the stage but an estimated 200 yards away.
"We think but we do not know so again, this is one of these things that's qualified because of our ongoing review, that he was live streaming, you know viewing the footage from that again about 11 minutes and around the 3:50, 4 o'clock pm range."
Wray also spoke on the explosive devices found in Crooks’ car and residence, calling tem "relatively crude devices" that had the ability to be remotely detonated. Wray said that two receivers were found in Crooks’ for the two explosive devices discovered there, and a transmitter was found with Crooks’ body. Because of the on-off position of the receivers, Wray said that it currently appears to investigators like the devices would not have detonated if Crooks had tried, but "that doesn't mean the explosives weren't dangerous."
