Live news: FBI agents access Trump shooter’s phone and search his house

FBI agents have gained access to Thomas Crooks’s phone and have conducted nearly 100 interviews, as authorities continue to investigate the gunman who shot at Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The FBI is analysing Crooks’s electronic devices and is speaking to witnesses including law enforcement staff and rally attendees, it said on Monday. 

The agency has also completed searches of Crooks’s vehicle and home, where agents had earlier found “suspicious devices” that were “rendered safe” by bomb technicians. 

“The investigation is still in the early stages,” the FBI added.

US Secret Service agents killed Crooks shortly after he opened fire.
