Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, confessed to brutally murdering the conservative activist in text messages to his transgender boyfriend.
FBI Director Kash Patel provided this new information during an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity.”
It comes as authorities piece together what led to a gunman shooting Kirk at a speaking event in Utah last week, the New York Post reported.
Information about the alleged gunman and his motivation has continued to come to light after the Turning Point USA founder’s death on September 10.
As Slay News reported, prosecutors officially charged Robsinson with Kirk’s murder on Tuesday.
Patel announced that the FBI found a confession in the text exchange.
The exchange was between Robinson and a man he’s reportedly in a homosexual relationship with, Lance Twiggs.
“[W]hat was found, in terms of information, a text message exchange where the suspect [Robinson], specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do that,” Patel told host Sean Hannity.
“And when [Robinson] was asked why, he said, ‘Some hatred cannot be negotiated with,’” the FBI director noted.
Patel said law enforcement is investigating whether others were involved in the alleged plot.
