Federal agents are still searching for a motive on Monday — two days after Thomas Matthew Crooks shot and wounded former President Donald Trump in an assassination attempt.

Agents wearing shirts emblazoned with “Pittsburgh Bureau of Federal Investigation” have spent the morning speaking to the Crookses and their neighbors, brandishing their badges at the front door.

“They asked questions I didn’t really have answers to. I’m not really one to go around talking to my neighbors,” said Kelly Little, 38, who has lived across the street from the Crookses’ modest one-story brick house since 2018.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the show was pulled to keep one of the show’s dozens of guests from making an inappropriate comment while live that could paint the show and network in a bad light.
