The man who carried out the attempted assassination on
The man who carried out the attempted assassination on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, posted violent antisemitic content online as a teenager.
A senior FBI official, speaking at a US Senate hearing on Tuesday, said material posted by Thomas Crooks included antisemitic and anti-immigration content.
FBI deputy director Paul Abbate said the account dated from 2019 to 2020, which would have made Crooks 15 or 16 years old at the time of the posts.
