The assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday shocked American public opinion. The motivation of the attacker is still being determined. Before the attack, Thomas Crooks searched for information about the British Royals.

On Saturday, July 13, Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two people were killed at the scene, including the attacker, Thomas Crooks. FBI agents are investigating the content of the perpetrator's two phones to determine his motivation.

On Wednesday, the media obtained further information about the case from American services. "The Telegraph" reports that before the attack, the perpetrator browsed online for photos of famous people who might have been his potential victims.

Among them were Christopher Wray, director of the FBI, and Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States. The perpetrator also searched for information about one of the royals, but it has not been disclosed who specifically.

Additionally, analysis of the perpetrator's phones revealed that he had browsed the internet for pictures of Donald Trump and Joe Biden and 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 been conducted, and the investigation is still ongoing.
