Federal officials said on Monday that the inspectors found other evidence that connects Charlie Kirk’s deadly fire as DNA and Tyler Robinson, FBI Director of the DNA and Tyler Robinson.

Patel said on Monday that Robinson had sent a text before the shooting and that he had the opportunity to “remove Kirk, and that he would do it because of Charlie’s hate because he stopped”. It is not clear who sent the text of Robinson or whether he warned the person’s law enforcement officers. It was claimed that a similar message was included in a note that was destroyed, but rescued by law enforcement officers, and told Patel Fox News.

In the interview, Patel said, ik We learned shocking things when we talked to his family and friends, ”he said.

The FBI collected a screwdriver with a Robinson DNA on the roof of a building at Utah Valley University and a firearms wrapped in a towel thrown in a nearby forested area. The towel also said that Robinson has DNA DNA, adding that the firearms are still committed for judicial evidence.

31 -year -old Kirk was a beloved figure who won praise to use dialogue to make a death case in the conservative movement. He was not filtered about heated issues such as abortion, migration and gender identity. During an engagement at the Utah Valley University, his death shocked the country with a single weapon and led to a strong debate on the alleged motivations that were arrested on suspicion of a 22 -year -old murder.

During an interview on Sunday morning, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox claimed that Robinson was subscribing to the “leftist ideology ve and radicalized after leaving Utah State University in 2021. Robinson’s parents are registered Republicans. His sons are not committed to any political party.

Cox does not collaborate with researchers, but the closest people work with the police. According to the governor, Robinson’s friends drew a picture of a radicalized teenager in the dark corners of the Internet.

“Obviously, this person’s deep, dark internet, reddit culture, and this person deepened the internet, this is the other dark places that confirmed too many games,” he said.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bonino said that Robinson was a “obsession ve with Kirk based on the information they have discovered so far, and whether he didn’t know the threat of others asking.

“Do they hear it and think it’s a joke? Now this is what we’re trying to learn.” “If there is a bigger network here, we will take it to the public as soon as possible.”

There have been a lot of discussion about who lived with Robinson’s partner and that Cox said it was “transition from man to woman”. In a television interview at the weekend, COX stressed that the person does not have any information about the attack and that it was “shock when they learn.”

On Wednesday, a few minutes before the Utah campus was hit on the campus, Kirk was asked how many mass shootings were made by a transparent by an audience member.

“It’s too much, Kir Kirk replied.

Violence Prevention Project at Hamline University He found that most of the shots were injured by four or more people in a public place. According to the data, only 2% of the shots in the last decade were performed by women and less than 1% were transsexual people.

After seeing the images of his father, his father, a long -sleeved T -shirt and jeans, FBI flashed between the comprehensive human hunting for the shooter. According to a law enforcement source, which is not authorized to discuss the investigation, Robinson called the church bishop – at the same time a neighbor – when he threatened to take his own life.

Cox emphasized what the authorities are still trying to determine what is still leading to deadly attraction and what role in the event plays political ideology. Further information may arise on Tuesday, when Robinson is expected to be accused of criminals.

“Behind this is… We make many conclusions about how someone like this can be radical. And I think these are important questions and important questions for us to answer.”

In the meantime, Patel, at the time of shooting, “terrible shots” was taken into custody, saying that the X’s posts encountered criticism. Less than two hours, the inspectors managed this person as a suspect and released After questioning them. Robinson would not be arrested for another day.

The announcement was a sharp contrast to how the FBI and other law enforcement officers typically cope with the arrest of a potential suspect in high -profile cases, especially with something that the identity of a suspect could not be clear immediately. In the past, in similar events, law enforcement officers will not confirm whether there is a suspicion a few hours after detained to consolidate their participation.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, law enforcement officers and political sources, Patel’s message typically that the cautious approach authorities took the cautious approach in such cases and many people did not lead to questioning the decision of the director.

Former Houston and Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said that Patel’s lack of experience deals with communication after shooting.

Acevedo, “Domestic and foreign threats at a historical high point, FBI, the fight against them in the head of the leader of the head of the head of the head of the head. Our nation, FBI and the President deserves better,” he said.

Even before flying to Utah on Thursday, Patel held a meeting with senior agents and released them. According to the New York Times, who referred to three people familiar with change, Patel and Bonsino said they were under intense pressure to arrest the murderer in a abusive call on Thursday morning. Patel also called the agents in Salt Lake City because he did not share the photos of the suspect earlier.

Patel’s actions seemed to have led to confusion and disappointment, even among conservative and right -wing experts and politicians.

“The suspect is still loose,” Fox News server Laura Ingraham Published on X It was wrong after the news that Patel’s first announcement of a suspect was in custody. “Unreal. Take it.”

Joseph Biggs, a member of the right -wing proud men, who was sentenced to the role of the storm of the capital of January 6, 2021, detonated Patel on social media.

“Stop all this click – you keep doing it” written. “He doesn’t give up the office you represent.”

In an interview with Fox & Friends on Monday, Patel argued to take the investigation, including his social media tasks.

“Can I express it a little better in the heat of that moment? Of course. But I regret to leave it out? Not absolutely not,” he said. “I was telling the world what FBI is doing when I was doing it, and I keep doing it.”

Patel is scheduled to testify about the FBI supervision of Patel in front of the Senate and Parliamentary judicial committees on Tuesday and Wednesday.
