Prevent crashes. Nightly news begins right now. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with lester holt. Good evening. Weve learned new details about the man suspected of carrying out bombings in new york and new jersey. Some of those details from his own writings which may shed light on a possible motive. Ahmad rahami was captured 48 hours after he first of four devices, including one that injured more than two dozen people. This is not the first time rahami came to the attention of the feds. A 2014 fbi inquiry triggered by comments made by his father and the recovery of the suspects journal are beginning to fill in some of the troubling blanks in this case. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer leads off our coverage. Reporter afteramad rahami was shot by police on monday, investigators say they him, pierced by a bullet, filled with antiamerican sentiment. Law enforcement officials call it a rambling series of references to past events. Noted inside, the ft. Hood shooting. And a mention about al qaeda prop gandist anwar alawlaki. Reporter with investigators diving deeper into rahamis repeated and lengthy visits to pakistan and afghanistan, today his father confirmed he to the fbi. You talked to the fbi two years ago. What did you tell them . Reporter in 2014, after a trip overseas, federal Law Enforcement officials were called to his home for a domestic dispute, where rahami stabbed his brother in the leg and a neighbor heard his father yell, youre a terrorist his father later told the fbi he was just angry and he had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. Activities at this time did not indicate any radicalization or intent to commit nefarious activities. Reporter tonight investigators are also seeking answers from rahamis wife. The two were married in 2011, she was living in pakistan and applied for a u. S. Visa. They found out she was pregnant, and then they told us she couldnt come in until she had the baby. Reporter the visa say she was not in the u. S. During last weeks bombings. Out of surgery and sedated, rahami hasnt been talkative. The two officers he injured have been released from the hospital. Im glad to be alive, glad to be home. Its been a long 24 hours. Reporter this as federal investigators say they have connected rahami to four explosive devices. Two Pressure Cooker bombs in new york city. A cluster of pipe with explosive inadvertently triggered by the bomb squad. It was first discovered by two homeless men. I said, we need to go to the Police Station right now. I said, whats wrong . He said, thats a bomb. Reporter tonight here outside the family home, federal investigators say theres no indication the suspect may have built his bombs inside the home, or that more may be placed throughout this community. The suspect is expected in court next week. Lester . Justice correspondent pete williams. Given what the fbi knew two years ago, why wasnt rahami on a watch list . The fbi insists tonight it did a thorough assessment two years ago, that it checked government databases, did interviews, but turned up no suggestion of any terror connection. Ushd the governments rules for putting a u. S. Citizen in the terror database there must be reasonable suspicion someone is a terrorist. As far rahamis travel to pakistan and afghanistan, including areas where taliban influence is strong, he was questioned by u. S. Border officials when he returned about the purpose of his travel there. American citizen arent put in terrorism databases for traveling to trouble spots, though their travel plans are monitored. Tonight federal officials are charging with the bombings and attempts in new york and seaside park, and el using a weapons of mass destruction and bombing public places. Pete williams, thank you. To president ial politics where donald trump is facing new krut ni over his charitable spending while his son is under fire for comparing refugees to poisoned skittles. Hillary clinton is leading donald trump by five points. We get more on all this from nbcs hallie jackson. Weeks, more questions about several donations from Donald Trumps foundation which today the new York Attorney general, a democrat, confirming hes looking into whether trump paid his own legal settlements with money from his own charity. At issue, payments like the 100,000 trump gave to a Veterans Group after a legal dispute. A check cut, not from a business or personal account, but from his charitable foundation. As first reported by the washington post. Unethical to use charitable dollars to pay for expenses that one ought to be paying for out of their own pocket. Reporter the trump camp not commenting as today in North Carolina trump again talks tough on immigration. Immigration security is national security. Reporter but its his son under fire finish an analogy critics find in poor taste against the backdrop of the syrian refugee crisis. A metaphor hes made before on camera. If we had a bowl of skittles on the table and 3 of the 1 thoun in there were poisonous, would you take from the bowl . You wouldnt, until you could find out which ones are bad. Reporter the Parent Company responding, skittles are candy. Refugees are people. Vp nominee mike pence responding tonight with nbcs kelly odonnell. I think whats a blind eye to policies that are very likely compromising the safety and security of the american people. Reporter trumps team calling the candidates son a tremendous asset, blaming Political Correctness for the uproar. And in an ironic twist, the person who took the photograph of that bowl of skittles trump jr tweeted tells the bbc he himself is a refugee. Watching it all, Hillary Clinton off the campaign trail today, preparing for next weeks debate, and huddling with her hallie jackson, thank you.

An officer in the chopper who cant be hea officer fires his taser and another fires her gun. She said she was never this scared ever in her entire life. Reporter her lawyer says crutcher was acting erratically and was thought to be reaching snds the suv for a weapon. She clearly believed him to be under the influence of some type of narcotic, possibly pcp, because shes a drug recognition expert. Reporter a bottle of pcp was fou the suv, still toxicology reports were not finished. Today his family shows the video shows he wasnt reaching inside the vehicle because his window was up.
