The FBI rejected the possibility of mental disorder of Trump’s assailant

A senior official at the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that the investigation is still in the early stages and the motives of the attacker have not been identified.

According to the Wall Street Journal, this official rejected the possibility of mental disorder as one of the reasons for the attack and said: There is no indication that the gunman had mental problems. He also said that the armed person was not a member of a group and acted “alone”; So there is no public safety concern. 

20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot at Donald Trump from a distance of 137 meters from a height, was killed by the US Secret Service after this action. While the media is trying to figure out his motive for the shooting, Joe Biden asked an hour ago to put aside speculation and wait for the announcement of the results of the investigation.

Trump’s assailant is known as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania. However, federal campaign finance reports show he donated $15 to a Democratic campaign in 2021. It is said that after the incident, his house was surrounded and the police forces are removing some items to investigate his personal motives.
