This message was discovered and presented to US senators in a briefing by top security officials.

After leaving the note, Crooks shot at Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last weekend.

Investigations revealed that Crooks had images of both the Republican presidential nominee and President Biden on his cell phone.

He also looked up the dates of the Democratic National Convention and Trump’s rally, where he eventually carried out his attack from a nearby rooftop.

Despite being registered as a Republican, Crooks’ search history did not clearly indicate his political leanings.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot by Secret Service agents seconds after firing at the former president, reported ‘ABC 7.’

According to ‘Fox News,’ Crooks had two cell phones: one found near his body and another at his home with only 27 contacts.

The details of Thomas’ search history were revealed along with the shocking fact that 20 minutes passed from the first sighting of him on the rooftop.

During this time, Thomas Matthew Crooks was in the sights of snipers who watched him closely, and he even used a rangefinder to view the agents.

The shooting resulted in the tragic death of a 50-year-old father and injuries to two other rally attendees.

Police sources reported that the snipers saw Crooks on the rooftop outside the rally’s security zone at 5:52 p.m. (local time), and the shooting began at 6:12 p.m.

This 20-minute interval has been a critical point in the ongoing investigation.

Authorities have emphasized the importance of reviewing and strengthening security protocols at political events.

Moreover, the quick action of Secret Service agents to neutralize Thomas Matthew Crooks prevented a greater tragedy.
