**Summary:**

1. **Phone Investigation** : The FBI has obtained the phone of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter at a Pennsylvania rally for former President Donald Trump, for examination. Agents in Pennsylvania couldn’t break into the phone, so it has been sent to the FBI’s lab in Quantico, Virginia.

2. **Motive Insight** : Investigators are seeking insight into Crooks’ motives. They have access to some of his text messages, but these have not provided much information about his beliefs.

3. **Ongoing Investigation** : FBI Special Agent Kevin Rojek mentioned that the agency is continuing its efforts to gather more information and understand the reasons behind the shooting.
