Following the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, FBI agents have been actively involved in the investigation to uncover the details surrounding the incident.

On Tuesday, FBI agents were spotted at the American Glass Research complex, which the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, used as a sniper's perch during the attempt. Employees were allowed back into the building for the first time since the shooting, and FBI agents subsequently arrived to gather evidence.

It was reported that workers removed the large American flag that hung over Trump during his speech at the rally. Additionally, FBI agents entered Crooks' residence in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to further investigate the matter.

The FBI has classified the shooting incident as an assassination attempt on the former president and is considering it as a potential case of domestic terrorism. The agency has made progress in the investigation by gaining access to Crooks' phone and analyzing his electronic devices. The search of Crooks' residence and vehicle has been completed.

Furthermore, the FBI has conducted close to 100 interviews with law enforcement personnel, event attendees, and other witnesses to gather information about the events leading up to the shooting. The agency's efforts in the investigation are ongoing as they continue to piece together the sequence of events that transpired during the rally.

The FBI emphasized that the investigation is still in its early stages, and they are committed to uncovering all relevant details surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Trump. The agency's dedication to pursuing justice in this matter remains unwavering as they work diligently to bring clarity to the situation.
