Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks ‘downloaded picture of Kate Middleton’: Report

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man accused of attempting to shoot Donald Trump, reportedly researched the Princess of Wales, according to the FBI. Initial reports indicated that the 20-year-old had searched for a member of the royal family, but the identity was not disclosed. It has now surfaced that the 'Trump's would-be assassin' downloaded a picture of Kate Middleton, the future queen, who is currently battling cancer.

Thomas crooks searched for Kate Middleton: Report

On Sunday, the Republican presidential nominee narrowly escaped a life-threatening bullet during his Pennsylvania rally. Although the bullet missed him, it grazed his ear, causing it to bleed. The case has since been handed over to the FBI, which is working to uncover the motive behind the shooting. When they raided the suspect's house in Pennsylvania, they found two phones and a laptop. After looking into his stuff, the cyber experts found pictures of Kate Middleton on his devices.

The agency earlier declined to reveal the identity of the royals, and many suspected it might be either Harry or Meghan, the estranged royals who currently reside in California. But, a famous American radio station, NPR, told politicians about Kate's name when they were talking on the phone about the attack, as per the mirror.

However, Kate stood out as the sole individual not of American nationality on the list, which also comprised several other notable figures. It is alleged that Crooks fired approximately eight rounds of gunfire prior to being killed by the Secret Service at the Trump rally.
