Speaker 0: Now to the latest on the Trump assassination attempt, one of the rally goers wounded in the shooting was released from the hospital yesterday. And we're learning more about the investigation from FBI director Christopher Wray, who testified before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday. Nicole Skanga is following this.
Speaker 1: FBI analysis of the shooter's laptop reveals his ominous Google search a week before he nearly killed former president Trump.
Speaker 2: On July 6th, he did a Google search for, quote, how far away was Oswald from Kennedy? And so that's a search that obviously is significant in terms of his state of mind.
Speaker 1: On the same day he did that research, the shooter, 20 year old Thomas Crooks, registered to attend the Trump rally where he opened fire. That's according to FBI director Christopher Wray, who released new facts Wednesday about his agency's ongoing investigation. Wray revealed that just 2 hours before the shooting, Crooks flew a drone, hovering roughly 200 yards from the rally stage for about 11 minutes.
Speaker 2: We have recovered a drone, that the shooter appears to have used. It's being exploited and analyzed by the FBI lab.
Speaker 1: Investigators are still looking into how Crooks possibly concealed his rifle from authorities.
Speaker 2: The, weapon had a collapsible stock, which could explain why it might have been less easy for people to observe.
Speaker 1: A CBS News analysis has found that Crooks fired 8 shots from this rooftop in less than 6 seconds before a Secret Service counter sniper killed him.
Speaker 2: Why was Crooks allowed to get off 8 shots? Well, that, I think, is something we're still digging into.
Speaker 1: Ray's testimony came just one day after secret service director Kimberly Cheadle resigned following intense criticism over her agency's handling of the crisis. So far, a motive for the shooting has not been determined.
Speaker 2: The shooter may be deceased, but the FBI's investigation is very much ongoing.
Speaker 1: Ray said that the shooter's father legally purchased the AR style rifle back in 2013, but he sold it to his son late last year. The FBI believes the gunman likely took that weapon to a local firing range to practice the day before the attempted assassination.

The lawyer also referred us to Hunter Biden's memoir Where the president's son slammed the despicable opposition that purported to have a laptop belonging to him.
