Later today, the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder, Tyler Robinson, will appear in court in Utah for the first time.<\/p>\n

But before that, we’re going to hear from FBI Director Kash Patel, who has been leading the federal investigation into the killing.<\/p>\n

Patel will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in half an hour, and he will face scrutiny about his handling of the case.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The FBI director has since said he doesn’t regret his posts – but admitted he could have worded them better.<\/p>\n

“I was being transparent with working with the public on our findings, as I had them,” he said on Fox News yesterday.<\/p>\n
