Confusion remains over the status of the investigation into the attack on right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, an influential right-wing activist and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) , who died after being shot in the neck while attending an event in Utah.
The alleged killer was initially arrested. But "the individual in custody was released after questioning by law enforcement. Our investigation continues, and we will continue to release information in the interest of transparency," FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X.
In a video on Truth featuring him at his desk in the Oval Office, Donald Trump solemnly paid tribute to the young activist, calling him a "patriot," a "martyr for truth and freedom, " a person "who fought for democracy, justice, and the American people." He then slammed the "rhetoric of the radical left" that "for years has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst criminals and mass murderers. " This kind of "rhetoric," Trump added, "is directly responsible for the terrorism we are seeing in our country now and must stop now."
