Wray told members of the House Judiciary Committee that the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, flew a drone near the site of the rally roughly two hours before he opened fire.

Wray said investigators recovered the drone in Crooks' vehicle, and the bureau believes he was watching video streamed from the device to scout the area.

 The FBI chief also said agents recovered a total of three "relatively crude" explosive devices: two from Crooks' vehicle and one from his residence. Crooks had a transmitter that would have allowed him to detonate the devices in his car remotely, but the receivers on the bombs were turned off, Wray said. 
 FBI Director Christopher Wray is currently testifying at a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing is titled "Oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation" and focuses on the FBI's investigation into the assassination attempt against former President Trump and the alleged politicization of the agency under Director Wray's leadership
