The Washington Free Beacon reported that the FBI has begun investigating several social media posts that hint at foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The publication received the information from “three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots.”
We also learned that the FBI found suspect Tyler Robinson’s DNA on items at the crime scene.
Many of the accounts supposedly belonged to “transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.”
One post mentioned the date of Kirk’s assassination a month before it happened.
All the posts have been deleted.
FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News that agent found DNA evidence of the suspect at the scene of the crime: “I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody.”
Patel mentioned group chats that Robinson allegedly belonged to, but reminded everyone that the FBI has a process and the agents need to do it by the book.
In other words, warrants are needed:
People think we can just get in these group chats and immediately find out who is in them. We the FBI, are the investigatory body supporting multiple prosecutions and ongoing investigations, and that’s another point. Our investigation at the FBI is ongoing, and there are scores of people in this discord chat room.But we have to effectuate legal process. We have to go out there with search warrants so that if prosecutors want to later use this evidence, it’s not tainted by being illegally obtained. We the FBI are running the investigation pointly on the discord chat group. There are scores of individuals that are going to be spoken to. There are also lots of family members and friends that have already been spoken to.And one more point on forensics, we were able to obtain in record time the text message chain between the suspect and his live in partner, as well as other critical cellular information from our cast team that analyzes cell phone data towers in the area to pinpoint the locations of the suspect and other individuals he was speaking with.This is critical information that the FBI processed and got to prosecutors so they can lawfully use it in a court of law, and our investigation, our interviews, continue, but we’ve learned some shocking things when we spoke to his family and friends as well.
Patel couldn’t share the “shocking things” the FBI has learned but confirmed a few items:
His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left wing ideology, and even more so in these last couple of years, and he had a text message exchange he the suspect with another individual, in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.That are those are factually accurate investigatory findings by the FBI that we’ve handed over to the local authorities and the federal authorities to make their prosecutorial decisions.But I believe in this instance of such public importance, the public has a right to know, and I’ve told you, I’m committed to transparency, and that’s what I’m doing here.
Then a written note came up. Patel said:
So what I was, what I’m able to say is, I addressed it partially earlier, is that the written note, we believe what did exist, and we have evidence to show what was in that note, which is and I’m going to summarize basically saying the suspect wrote a note saying, “I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.”That note was written before the shooting. We now have learned existed before the shooting was in the location, in the suspect in partners home. But we have since learned that the note, even though it has been destroyed, we have found forensic evidence of the note, and we have confirmed what that note says, because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.
