According to PANews, on August 28, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) stated in a media conference call that the motive of the suspect in the "attempted assassination case" of former President Trump remains unclear.

The FBI provided an update on the day on its investigation, which has seen it conduct nearly 1,000 interviews, issue numerous search warrants and dozens of subpoenas, and analyze hundreds of hours of video footage.

Despite analyzing the suspect's online activity in the days leading up to the shooting, it did not help them identify a "definite motive."

On July 13, Trump was "attempted to assassinate" at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear, killing one spectator and seriously injuring two others. The gunman was shot dead by Secret Service personnel.

After Trump's assassination, US President Biden said he had ordered an independent review of the national security circumstances of Trump's rally to provide an exact assessment of the incident.
