FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Capitol Hill today, defending his leadership of the bureau before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the latest developments in the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation, he addressed leaked reports that suspected shooter Tyler Robinson confessed to the attack in a Discord chat.
“We’re going to be investigating anyone and everyone involved in that Discord thread,” Patel said.
Sen. Josh Hawley said, “I’ve seen public reports that the Discord thread had as many as 20 additional users. It sounds like you’re trying to run all of that down to see if that’s accurate?”
Patel confirmed, “It’s a lot more than that, and we’re running all of that down.”
