Trump Agrees To Interview With FBI Over Shooting Investigation

President Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI for a standard victim interview.

The FBI reported Trump will sit down with the FBI and answer questions regarding the shooting that took place at his rally on July 13.

Victim interviews are common in investigations but are voluntary.

Previously, FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed a bullet may not have hit Trump, but the FBI later retracted Wray’s statement and confirmed Trump was indeed hit with a bullet and not shrapnel.

Victim interviews are a routine part of criminal investigations, but are voluntary.

Previously the FBI claimed may not have been hit by a bullet but the agency has since retracted their statement and confirmed Trump was indeed hit by a bullet on his ear.

Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters on a conference call Monday that investigators have focused their efforts on uncovering the motive of the 20-year-old would-be assassin.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was “highly intelligent” and had a growing interest in shooting, Rojek said. While officials had already revealed that Crooks searched “how far away was Oswald from Kennedy” before the shooting, Rojek said Monday that he also made searches related to “power plants, mass shooting events, information on improvised explosive devices and the attempted assassination of the Slovakian Prime Minister earlier this year.”

NBC News added more to the story:

Former President Donald Trump has agreed to participate in a victim interview with the FBI focused on his attempted assassination, a bureau official told reporters Monday.

The interview with Trump would be consistent with any interview the bureau would conduct for any victim of crime under any circumstances, an official said.

The FBI investigation has found that attempted assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was a “highly intelligent” man as well as “a loner” with few friends and acquaintances outside of his family, and had a growing interest in weapons.

His motive is still not known. The FBI has conducted hundreds of interviews and requested information about his online accounts, including gaming accounts, from dozens of companies, an official said. His search history included seeking information about the attempted assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico earlier this year, as well as mass shootings and power plants, an official said.
