FBI Director Kash Patel said on Sept. 15 that investigators have obtained evidence from digital footprints and witness interviews suggesting the suspected gunman in Charlie Kirk’s assassination had expressed an intention to kill the conservative commentator.

In an interview on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Patel said that law enforcement seized multiple electronic devices—including laptops, gaming systems, and cellphones—from suspect Tyler Robinson’s home and his romantic partner’s residence during the investigation.
