The gaming chat platform said there's no evidence Thomas Crooks used it to plan the shooting

The FBI has identified 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the suspect involved in the failed assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania yesterday. Following the incident, there’s been a rush to identify any online accounts that may have been associated with the alleged gunman and might explain his motivations.

Planning for the attack took place on a private Discord server for months before it was carried out, at which time the platform was also used to share links to livestream of the massacre on Twitch. Both platforms were criticized at the time by New York’s Attorney General and others for not doing enough to monitor exchanges for potential threats.
