Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks looked up pornography not long before he shot at the former president.

The search was the last one Crooks, 20, made on his phone before wounding Trump as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday.

FBI investigators discovered the search history after finally cracking his encrypted Samsung Android phone days after the assassination attempt.

Other queries included Princess Kate as well as her fellow British royals, both Trump and President Joe Biden, and school shooter Ethan Crumbley.

The senior law enforcement source who told the Daily Beast about the porn search said it was ‘not unusual’ among high-profile killers.

Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooter Adam Lanza had child abuse images on his phone and Al Qaeda terrorists also watched extreme porn.

Agents couldn’t initially break into Crooks’ phone and sent it to the Operational Technology Division at FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. 

The only other recent activity on his phone was texts from his parents asking where he was after he didn’t come home from the gun range when they expected.

Crooks was shot dead by Secret Service sharpshooters after his shots grazed Trump’s ear, killed rally attendee Corey Comperatore, and wounded another.

Investigators have moved on to his laptop and external hard drives found during a search of his parents’ home, where he lived.

Crooks had images of the Princess of Wales on his phone, sources told DailyMail.com, and also looked up FBI Director Christopher Wray and US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

It is not yet clear why Crooks was looking up Kate – the only non-American in the group of people found in his internet search history.
