Special Agent Kevin Rojek of the Pittsburgh FBI is looking for help from the public to figure out why there was a shooting targeting former President Donald Trump. He mentioned during a press conference that they are still trying to understand the motive behind the incident. Rojek also assured that there is no ongoing threat after the assassination attempt.
During a campaign rally on Saturday, Donald Trump was shot in the ear, causing blood to streak across his face. Despite the chaos, Trump emerged from the incident and pumped his fist in the air, urging others to fight on. Unfortunately, the shooter was dead, one attendee was killed, and two others were injured during the tragic event.
He was made FBI's Pittsburgh Field Office in 2024
Mr. Rojek began his career with the FBI in 2002 as a special agent, focusing on counterintelligence in the Norfolk Field Office. He later took on roles within the Field Intelligence Group and SWAT team, showcasing his skills as an operator and sniper. His dedication and expertise led to a promotion in 2010 to supervisory special agent of the cyber and global counterintelligence squad.
In 2012, he continued to excel in his career by joining the Cyber Division's Asia Cyber Operations Unit at FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C. In 2013, he went back to the Norfolk Field Office and worked in the counterintelligence squad.
By 2014, he had been promoted to cyber supervisor at the Cincinnati Field Office. He continued to climb the ranks and in 2019 became the assistant special agent in charge of the same office. His responsibilities included overseeing various programs such as cyber, intelligence, security, and administration, as well as leading teams like the Evidence Response Team and SWAT. Before becoming a part of the FBI, he spent 11 years as a United States Army officer and completed one tour in Afghanistan after the events of 9/11.
Eventually in 2021, he was promoted once again to serve as section chief at the National Security Agency/U.S. Cyber Command within the FBI's Cyber Division. In 2023, Mr. Rojek received a promotion to become the chief of staff for the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch.
