Later today, the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, Tyler Robinson, will appear in court in Utah for the first time.
But before that, we’re going to hear from FBI Director Kash Patel, who has been leading the federal investigation into the killing.
Patel will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in half an hour, and he will face scrutiny about his handling of the case.
On the day of the shooting, Patel said on X that “the subject” was in custody – then 90 minutes later said they had been released. His posts came a day before Robinson’s family turned him in.
The FBI director has since said he doesn’t regret his posts – but admitted he could have worded them better.
“I was being transparent with working with the public on our findings, as I had them,” he said on Fox News yesterday.
