The Saturday assassination attempt on Donald Trump shocked the American public. The motive behind the attack is still being determined. Before the incident, Thomas Crooks reportedly searched for information on, among others, the royals.
On Saturday, 13 July, Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally held in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two people were killed at the scene, including the attacker himself, Thomas Crooks. The FBI is determining the attacker's motive by analysing the contents of, among other things, the perpetrator's two phones.

On Wednesday, the media obtained additional information on the case derived from the actions of American authorities. "The Telegraph" reports that before the attack, the perpetrator browsed online for photos of famous people who might also have been his potential victims.
Among them were Christopher Wray, director of the FBI, and Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States. However, that's not all; during the planning of the attack, the perpetrator also searched for information about one of the royals. It has not been disclosed who specifically.
Additionally, by analysing the perpetrator's phones, it was determined that he had browsed the internet for pictures of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as well as the dates of their upcoming campaign rallies. Recently, he also searched for information about symptoms of depressive disorders. The FBI director reported that over 200 interviews have already been conducted, and the investigation is still ongoing.
