Crooks, 20, has been described as a loner and an avid gamer without clear political loyalties.
The FBI has conducted more than 200 interviews and combed through 14,000 images on Crooks' cell phone.
The troubled engineering student had googled Trump, President Joe Biden, and the dates of future campaign events before the shooting.
A source told Fox News Digital that he had also looked up mass high school shooter Ethan Crumbley, now 18, at some point prior to the attack.
Crumbley is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing four students and injuring seven others when he opened fire at Oxford High School in Michigan in 2021. He was only 15 at the time.
Embattled U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee Monday as calls for her resignation continue in the wake of the assassination attempt. She has said she will not resign.
The FBI's canvass of Crooks' neighborhood is part of the ongoing investigation into the motive and circumstances of the assassination attempt. The agents are likely gathering information from neighbors and other residents who may have known or interacted with Crooks in the past.
The FBI has not yet released any official details about its investigation into the assassination attempt. However, the canvass of Crooks' neighborhood suggests that the investigation is continuing apace and that the FBI is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to understand what happened and why.
The assassination attempt on former President Trump was a serious incident that has raised concerns about the security of high-profile political figures. The FBI's investigation into the shooting is critical to ensuring that justice is served and that future assassination attempts are prevented.
