The explicit search history of the man who shot Donald Trump has been revealed by the FBI.

On July 13th, the Republican candidate and former President narrowly avoided death when he was shot at during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump was on stage speaking at the event when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from from a rooftop 150 meters away.

A bullet grazed the 78-year-old's right ear but he was not seriously injured in the attempted assassination.

The FBI has since been conducting an investigation into the assailant and have analysed a laptop linked to the 20-year-old, discovering a rather disturbing search history in the days leading up to the shooting.

Yesterday (July 24), FBI director Christopher Wray said that Crook's had searched the web for "How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?" just one week before the rally shooting, reports the New York Times.

"That’s a search that’s obviously significant in terms of his state of mind," Wray said during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. "That is the same day that it appears that he registered for the Butler rally."

The FBI also broke into the shooter’s phone last week, but his motive remains unclear. "A lot of the usual repositories of information have not yielded anything notable in terms of motive or ideology," Wray said.

According to Fox News, US senators were briefed at a meeting on July 17 where all-members were asked to be present. It was there where it emerged that the killer wrote an eerie message before the terrifying incident.

On the platform, he is alleged to have written:
