As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Fox News’s Jacqui Heinrich now reveals Secret Service and FBI officials told U.S. senators during an all-members briefing on Wednesday that Crooks allegedly wrote a chilling message on the gaming platform “Steam” just days before the attempted assassination.
According to these officials, Crooks wrote: “July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds.”
As the outlet notes, “Steam” is a social media platform that is very popular with gamers. Officials made the discovery while examining Crooks’ technological devices, including his cell phones and laptop.
On top of the threatening message, investigators reviewed Crooks’ laptop, and found searches in July with the words: ‘Trump, Biden, when is the DNC convention, and the July 13 Trump rally.’
Despite this new information, the investigators claim they found no evidence of a political ideology on the computer and no evidence that Crooks ever discussed politics.
This assertion comes despite the fact Crooks tried to assassinate Trump and told a classmate in an interview that he hated the 45th president.

The FBI still doesn’t know what Crooks’ motive could have been.

The senators also learned from FBI and Secret Service officials that Crooks had two cell phones. The primary phone was recovered from the scene of the assassination attempt, along with a remote transmitter.
The second phone was found at the shooter’s home and had 27 contacts. The FBI claimed during the hearing they were trying to reach out to these individuals.
These developments come just after Crooks’ parents contacted police on Saturday, hours before the attempt on Trump’s life as The Gateway Pundit reported. Crooks’ mother and father said that their son was missing and that they were concerned about his well-being.
It is unknown what actions were taken after police were contacted according to Fox News.
