Overview

• Candace Owens alleges a high‑pressure 'intervention' in the Hamptons where threats were made and significant money was offered to influence Charlie Kirk’s stance on Israel.
• Bill Ackman issued a detailed denial on X, calling the claims false, saying he never threatened, blackmailed, or offered money, and characterizing the August 2024 event as a forum to hear young conservatives.
• Ackman says he moderated an economics session and missed the Israel discussion due to a conflict, while Kirk’s producer and his pastor publicly disputed Owens’ account and described interactions as cordial.
• Owens also circulated a video suggesting another person fled the Utah scene, a claim authorities have not verified as they continue to assess evidence.
• Law enforcement arrested Tyler Robinson after a 33‑hour manhunt, with Utah authorities indicating they will seek the death penalty and no motive established to date.
