- TPUSA had planned a live fact-check event of Owens’ claims but postponed it after Erika Kirk announced the private meeting.
- Owens, a former TPUSA employee, has promoted unsubstantiated theories about Charlie Kirk’s Sept. 10 killing and alleged financial impropriety at TPUSA, which Treasury officials say is not under IRS investigation.
- Prosecutors have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and other felonies in the case and say he acted alone, with pretrial proceedings continuing.
- The dispute has intensified fractures in right‑wing media, with some figures elevating alternative theories and others, including TPUSA staff and Tim Pool, denouncing Owens’ claims and alleged monetization.
