US EditionBannon Claims Kirk Assassin Didn't Act Alone; Slams 'Stilted' Text Messages as Bad Script
Steve Bannon and other MAGA figures challenge the FBI's investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder, alleging the evidence is fabricated and linking the act to political extremism.
- On Tuesday, Utah authorities charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Utah campus event.
- Robinson allegedly used his grandfather's rifle to shoot Kirk last week, and evidence included text messages between Robinson and his roommate.
- Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon rejected the authenticity of these texts, calling them a 'bad script' and asserting Robinson did not act alone.
- FBI Director Kash Patel testified that people in Discord chatrooms connected to Robinson are under investigation, and Robinson urged broadening the probe to a wider conspiracy.
- The investigation could expand to explore possible links to the 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, with authorities and former advisers seeking any larger network involvement.
