The cellphone of the shooter who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania contained photos of former President Trump, President Biden and other officials, according to sources.

The Associated Press reported that two people familiar with the probe who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Thomas Matthew Crooks’ cell phone not only contained photos of Trump and Biden, but also Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Investigators are searching for clues to understand why Crooks opened fire on Trump at the rally on Saturday.

The FBI is investigating the shooting as a possible act of domestic terrorism but have not yet found a clear ideological motive.
