FBI officials sat down with former President Donald Trump last week to reveal an increasingly complex portrait of Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate.

On August 1, federal agents shared new information with Trump about Crooks, who on July 13, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, opened fire on the former President with an automatic weapon, wounding him and leaving him dead. one of the participants in the rally was killed and two others were injured.

The FBI said at the meeting that it believed Crooks was "extremely intelligent" but likely had an undiagnosed disorder.

The 20-year-old scored more than 1,500 points in his pre-college exam. The average score in the US is 1050, according to the College Board.

The agency said that despite his sometimes strange behavior, Crooks was never diagnosed with any disorder.

Thomas Matthew Crooks graduates from Bethel Park High School in 2022.

The FBI reportedly told Trump that Crooks' motive was still unknown as of last week.

In the weeks leading up to Crooks' premeditated attack, he searched the Internet for Democratic and Republican politicians, along with the upcoming Democratic National Convention and "depressive disorder."

The sources said that in the nearly 90-minute interview between Trump and a senior official from the FBI's Pittsburgh office, the former president asked most of the questions.

The FBI described the meeting with Trump as a "standard victim interview."

Beyond questions about Crooks and how he managed to climb undetected to the top of a nearby building with an AR-15-style rifle, Trump reportedly wanted to know if authorities had discovered any foreign connection to Crooks' attack.

The sources told the media that they were able to access three foreign email accounts used by Crooks because his passwords were stored on his computer, but they found no indication that anyone else was involved in the attack.

Information gleaned from the email accounts shows he shared information about weapons and ammunition purchases, but it sheds no light on what prompted Crooks to attempt to kill the former president.

Newly released information continues to paint a complex picture of Crooks as top investigators still cannot definitively determine what motivated the 20-year-old to open fire on Trump during the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.

Jason Kohler, who attended the same high school as Crooks, described him to Fox News as an "outcast" who was always alone and "bullied every day."

Julianna Grooms, who graduated a year after Crooks, said he dressed in camouflage or hunting gear and interacted awkwardly.
