New details emerge in Trump assassination attempt investigation

FBI investigators said Monday that they have gained entry to the cellphone of the 20-year-old man who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a weekend campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

An FBI technical specialist gained access to the contents of suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks' phone, allowing investigators to analyze the contents of the device as they focused on search for a motive for the shooting that left one rallygoer dead and two others wounded, an FBI official said.

Investigators did not immediately say if the analysis of the phone being conducted at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, yielded any clues on what drove the suspect to commit such a brazen attempt on Trump's life -- a key focus of the inquiry.
