Overview
- Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said on The Charlie Kirk Show that a screenshot of Kirk discussing a pulled donation over Tucker Carlson was authentic and that he had shared it with government contacts after the killing.
- The alleged group‑chat messages show a user identified as Kirk saying a $2 million donor withdrew support and declaring he would leave the pro‑Israel cause; Kolvet did not confirm the timing claimed by Candace Owens.
- Several outlets note the texts have not been independently verified beyond Kolvet’s statement, even as Newsweek reported his characterization of Kirk’s views on Israel as complicated and evolving.
- Candace Owens has advanced additional unverified claims, including that Kirk predicted his own death and that federal authorities are concealing key facts, drawing sharp pushback from conservative figures and a public dismissal from Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, remains charged in Utah with aggravated murder and related counts, with prosecutors indicating they will seek the death penalty and a court hearing set for October 30.
