00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee and revealed
00:07new details about the shooter who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
00:11Wray said the shooter, Thomas Crooks, may have used a firearm with a collapsible stock,
00:16making it easier to conceal as he carried out surveillance at the rally site in the
00:19days leading up to the attack.
00:21Crooks surveyed the rally site extensively and operated a drone there prior to launching
00:26an attack.
00:27Witnesses saw Crooks on the roof of a nearby building, and he began firing within seconds
00:31of being spotted by a law enforcement officer on the ground.
00:34The FBI still does not have a clear motive, but said Crooks became focused on Trump and
00:38the rally in the week leading up to the attack.
