Overview

  • Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said a leaked group‑chat screenshot is authentic and confirmed he shared it with government officials soon after the killing.
  • The messages attributed to Charlie Kirk describe a $2 million annual donation being pulled over his refusal to disinvite Tucker Carlson and say he was considering leaving the pro‑Israel cause.
  • Candace Owens is promoting broader, unverified claims, including that Kirk predicted his death and that authorities are concealing evidence, drawing criticism from conservative figures and support from some allies.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected suggestions of Israeli involvement as “insane,” and billionaire Bill Ackman denied attending a purported donor meeting described by Owens.
  • Prosecutors have charged 22‑year‑old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and related counts and are pursuing the death penalty, with the next significant hearing set for October 30.
