The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump researched Princess Kate as he plotted another assassination, the FBI has revealed.
Thomas Matthew Crooks reportedly downloaded images of the 42-year-old Royal, who is battling cancer, onto his mobile phone. FBI agents seized two phones and a laptop when they raided his home after the shooting in Pennsylvania. And cyber specialists discovered the snaps of Kate when they cracked the 20-year-old's devices, reports The Mirror.
Other people researched by Crooks included FBI director Christopher Wray and US attorney general Merrick Garland. His devices also contained images of President Joe Biden and Trump and dates of the Republican and Democratic conventions. There is no evidence to show Crooks planned to travel to the UK.READ MORE: Tragic young prisoner who died after taking suspected lethal substance pictured
He said: "They briefed members of Congress that he had saved images of President Biden, Donald Trump, even Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. He'd searched for dates of Trump's speaking events, as well as the Democratic National Convention. They say they found no signs of any strong political ideology or foreign connections."
