cb cotton joins us live from butler, pennsylvania. cb? >> hi, brian.100 tips, the fbi says it still does not have a clear motive for why gunman thomas matthew crooks tried to kill former president donald trump. we do know though about what crooks did leading up to and on the day of the rally. the fbi says that crooks signed up for the event on july 6th, three days after it was announced. on that same day, federal investigators say he researched how far lee henry oswald was from the late president john f. kennedy when oswald assassinated kennedy in 1963. the fbi says on july 7th. crooks traveled to the rally site and spent about 20 minutes in the area. and then forward to july 13th. the day of the rally, we know crooks purchased a ladder before heading back to the grounds of the butler farm show where he spent a little more than an hour scoping out the area as counter snipers were arriving. crooks then went back home and left his ladder there before returning back to the rally site at around 4:00 p.m. to fly his drone only about 200 yards from trump's p
