Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks had two cell phones and used three encrypted accounts overseas to communicate.

The FBI found Crooks’ second cell phone at his home with only 27 contacts, The Daily Mail reported.

Congressman Mike Waltz told Fox News host Jesse Watters that, according to an FBI briefing, Crooks had multiple encrypted accounts and said more will come out Monday.

Rep Waltz said the Trump shooter had the overseas accounts at the same time we heard about the Iranian assassination plot against Trump.

Jesse Watters asked if the two are connected (they aren’t).

The Intel agencies leaked an Iranian assassination plot story to CNN to throw chaos in the camp and distract from Saturday’s Secret Service failures.

Crooks did not work alone.

Police found a cell phone and a bomb detonator next to Thomas Matthew Crooks after a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him on a rooftop outside of Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

“Channel 11′s Nicole Ford also obtained exclusive photos showing the cell phone and transmitter device found next to Crooks moments after a Secret Service sniper shot and killed him.” WPXI reported.

It was previously reported by The Wall Street Journal and CNN that Crooks had explosives in his Hyundai Sonata which was parked next to the rally.

Details about the explosives are not known.

Congressman Mike Waltz says according to an FBI briefing, the Trump shooter had three encrypted accounts OVERSEAS, at the same time we’re hearing the Iranians are plotting against Trump.

TRANSCRIPT

Congressman Mike Waltz: I just talked to one of the agents a few hours ago. I talked to some Sunday. The agents are pissed. They’re frustrated. They’ve repeatedly asked for resources. Donald Trump isn’t your normal, average former president. He’s not Jimmy Carter sitting in the old folks’ home.

And oh, by the way, some other things are coming out, like the shooter had three encrypted accounts overseas at the same time we’re having an “Iranian plot”.

I think this is going to go much broader, much deeper, but the agents are going to hold her [Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle] to account. Their lives are on the line, and she was not giving the resources they were requesting.

One other thing, Jesse: that Pittsburgh Field Office was the one responsible for the advance. That was clearly not done appropriately – and distracted by Dr Jill.

Jesse Watters: And the Pittsburgh Field Office was also responsible for covering up that bribery-Ukraine tip that came in, as well.

Are you saying that you’re getting information that says there’s encrypted communications between Crooks and foreign sources?

Congressman Mike Waltz: What we know—and this was on the briefing we just received—he had three encrypted overseas accounts the FBI is trying to get into.

Jesse Watters: What do you mean by “overseas accounts”?

Congressman Mike Waltz: Well, we know that they were based in servers overseas, and so you’ve got to work over there with the FBI liaisons overseas to start getting into them through their authorities.

Do you believe this attempt on the former president’s life has some sort of foreign nexus?

Congressman Mike Waltz: Well, we know the Iranians have been trying for years, not only him, but everybody—Pompeo and others—involved in the Soleimani strike and we also know—it’s finally come out, many of us have been fighting this for years—that they pulled National Security Advisor O’Brien’s detail completely away. He’s had to go to his own private security and local law enforcement.

So there is all kinds of issues here, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it, starting on Monday.

Jesse Watters: I’m just not so sure I believe everything that I’m being told about what’s inside his phone yet. I just don’t trust the people doing this investigation.
