“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.
“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement.”
Last night, the FBI released a new video showing the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination leaping off his rooftop sniper’s nest and dashing away minutes after shooting the conservative activist dead Wednesday.
The clip from the Utah Valley University campus was shared by the bureau and the Utah Department of Public Safety during a press conference Thursday night.
The video shows the alleged assassin, wearing all black, running across the roof of a campus building, slowing near the edge and then scaling down to ground level before nonchalantly walking through a parking lot and toward a wooded area — where he dropped the gun.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced hours after the cold-blooded murder that a person of interest was in custody, then later said he had been released after questioning. That person was not the same one as being eyed now.
The FBI had also released a tipline on Wednesday evening, urging attendees to come forward with more information and footage of the event and on Thursday offered up to a $100,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s identification and capture.

No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” President Trump wrote in a mournful post on Truth Social after news of Kirk’s death spread.He later said he was “filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk” in a video posted on the platform.
