Trump shooter searched "how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?" a week before rally, FBI director says

Washington — The gunman who nearly assassinated former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 conducted a chilling Google search about the killing of President John F. Kennedy one week before the shooting, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers during a hearing on Wednesday.
Speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, Wray said the FBI is still trying to determine the motive of 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who fired at least eight shots that killed one attendee and wounded Trump and two others. Wray said investigators have gained access to some of Crooks' electronic devices, including his cellphone, but the "usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive or ideology."
One search found on a laptop tied to Crooks stood out, however. On July 6, one week before the Trump rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, Crooks searched "how far away was Oswald from Kennedy?"
