Explosives were found in 20-year-old Thomas Crooks’ car as well as his home, sources said.


The explosives were described as having “varying” levels of sophistication, though it is unclear exactly what they consist of.


Investigators were forced to tread lightly after uncovering the explosives in Crooks’ property.


No motive has been been given for the assassination attempt on Trump.


Crooks donated $15 to a pro-Democrat PAC as a 17-year-old in 2021, but then registered to vote as a Republican when he turned 18.


The streets around his home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, were blocked off by law enforcement early Sunday morning, with neighbors telling The Post they saw bomb squads arrive at the home around 1 a.m.


“I went down there and spoke to the county bomb squad at 1:06 a.m. He said he was about to go into the house,” the neighbor said.


“I didn’t know the guy. No one in this neighborhood really talks to each other.”
