From New York Post:
An new image of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin sitting on a wall looking and at his phone emerged Friday, showing the moments before he took a shot at the ex-president’s life.
Thomas Matthew Crooks can be seen perched on a wall in a grassy area of the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Butler, Pa., on July 13 as he waited for Trump, 78, to take the stage.
In the picture taken from above, Crooks, 20, appears to be scrolling on his cellphone, which was found alongside a remote transmitter after he was killed by return fire from a Secret Service sniper.
In the picture, the gunman is wearing the same gray influencer-branded shirt he was seen sporting in the only other image previously released of Crooks in the lead-up to the shooting, which killed retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, 50, and seriously injured David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74.
The new image was released Saturday by Judicial Watch, along with documents that detail how local law enforcement was stationed in preparation for the rally.
