DNA found at spot where Charlie Kirk’s assassin hid positively matched to suspect Tyler Robinson: FBI



DNA found at the spot where Charlie Kirk’s assassin hid has been positively matched to the suspect, Tyler Robinson — who also wrote about his plans to “take out” the conservative debater, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed early Monday.

DNA matching Robinson, 22, was found on a towel that covered the murder weapon when it was ditched — as well as a screwdriver found in the sniper’s nest on a roof, Patel told “Fox & Friends.”

Further DNA found on the bolt-action hunting rifle believed to have been used in last Wednesday’s shooting is still being analyzed to determine its links to Robinson, the FBI boss said.

Robinson also wrote a note saying that he had an opportunity to “take out Charlie Kirk,” and that he was “going to take it,” Patel said.

Patel confirmed that Robinson is not cooperating with authorities as he praised the FBI’s handling of the investigation.

“If you look at historical cases like [Luigi] Mangione and the Boston bombing, those two manhunts took five days,” he said. “We apprehended our suspect in 33 hours because we were transparent and open.”
