Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Wray, who spoke before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, said shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks flew the drone around the area, roughly 200 yards away from the stage, around 3:50 p.m to 4 p.m. Trump took the stage around 6 p.m."We think -- but we do not know, so again, this is one of these things that is qualified because of our ongoing review -- that he was live-streaming, viewing the footage
40% : Wray said the explosive devices had the ability to be detonated remotely and that the shooter was found with a transmitter on him, though initial findings suggest if he had tried to detonate the bombs from his position on a roof about 150 years away from Trump, he would not have been successful.
18% : FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday provided new details on the drone and explosive devices recovered from the gunman who tried to kill former President Trump, noting that the shooter flew a drone over the Butler, Pa. fairgrounds about two hours before Trump spoke at the rally location.
