Secret Service and FBI finish briefing Congress, lay out timeline of assassination attempt: report

The U.S. Secret Service and FBI briefed the House and Senate Wednesday on the attempted assassination of GOP nominee and former President Trump, laying out new timeline details and reiterating that no motive has been found, according to a report. 

The FBI reportedly provided new details about when the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was spotted by law enforcement which raise further questions about why Trump remained on stage after a possible threat had been identified.

According to PunchBowl News, the FBI told senators that the shooter was photographed as suspicious person 62 minutes before he began firing on Trump. Additionally, Secret Service snipers spotted Crooks 20 minutes before he began his attack. 

PunchBowl also reported the shooter visited the rally site days before to scope out the event.

The FBI Director, Christopher Wray, told senators that no foreign connections have been identified and the shooter maintained almost no social media presence. 

During the briefing with House members, PunchBowl reports Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle "acknowledged failure" of the agency she leads. 

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate also reiterated that the bureau has found "no political or ideological info."
