The Federal Bureau of Investigation seal is seen at FBI headquarters in Washington

Recent developments in the investigation into the shooting incident involving former President Donald Trump have shed new light on the case. According to a US official briefed on the matter, investigators now believe that the Steam account associated with the suspect is fake.

Initial reports had linked the account to Thomas Matthews Crooks, who allegedly posted a cryptic message hinting at the attack. However, further scrutiny has led authorities to question the authenticity of the account.

It was reported that a post on the account by Crooks mentioned a date, July 13, suggesting some kind of event. The FBI initially indicated that the account belonged to Crooks during a briefing with senators, but they have since revised their assessment.
