FBI Director Christopher Wray provided details on the explosive devices linked to Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate former President Trump. Three devices were found, two in Crooks' vehicle and one in his home. Wray described the bombs as crude but dangerous, rigged for remote detonation. Crooks had the detonator on the rooftop during the shooting, but it was not functional. The FBI has accessed Crooks' phone, but encrypted messaging has hindered the investigation. They also recovered a drone used by Crooks to scout the rally area.
