“I was sitting next to evil,” Jenkins told the outlet. “I haven’t been able to sleep thinking about it.”
Jenkins, who said he has been interviewed by the FBI, recalled the class instructor extolling Trump during the session – a glorification that may have contributed to Crooks’ determination to carry out the plot.
Crooks brought his own 9mm handgun to class and dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, the outlet reported.

“I congratulated him on how good he’d done, and he just laughed,” Jenkins said.
Investigators have yet to reveal a motive for the assassination attempt and are continuing to comb through Crooks’ background.
