Search For Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Motive Delayed By Explosives Found In Home And Car: Sources

The investigation into Donald Trump’s attempted assassin have been slowed down by improvised explosives rigged across his property, senior law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the search told The Post.

Explosives were found in 20-year-old Thomas Crooks’ car as well as his home, sources said.

The explosives were described as having “varying” levels of sophistication, though it is unclear exactly what they consist of.

Investigators were forced to tread lightly after uncovering the explosives in Crooks’ property.

Crooks was shot dead by the Secret Service after he opened fire at the rally.

No motive has been been given for the assassination attempt on Trump.

Crooks donated $15 to a pro-Democrat PAC as a 17-year-old in 2021, but then registered to vote as a Republican when he turned 18.

The streets around his home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, were blocked off by law enforcement early Sunday morning, with neighbors telling The Post they saw bomb squads arrive at the home around 1 a.m.

“I went down there and spoke to the county bomb squad at 1:06 a.m. He said he was about to go into the house,” the neighbor said.

“I didn’t know the guy. No one in this neighborhood really talks to each other.”

Crooks unloaded about eight shots from an AR-style rifle as the former president spoke to a rally just after 6:10 p.m. in Butler Park — around an hour north of his home in the suburb south of Pittsburgh.
