Donald Trump says authorities believe Charlie Kirk’s assassin is in custody. Speaking to Fox & Friends, Trump revealed someone close to the suspect, including a minister or father, helped turn him in.
The FBI confirmed a high-powered rifle believed to be the murder weapon was recovered, while video shows the suspect fleeing the scene after firing a single fatal shot.
Trump Jr. says any celebration of Kirk’s killing is “truly disgusting”
Donald Trump Jr., who was a close friend of Kirk’s, said any celebration of his friend’s killing is “truly disgusting.” The president’s son was interviewed on Fox News with Martha McCallum Friday afternoon.
“It’s just been very hard, Martha,” he said. “When you think about what’s gone on over the last few years, when you look at the vilification of Charlie that I’m seeing every day since then, the celebration of his assassination in cold blood in front of his wife and young children, it’s truly disgusting.”
The president’s son said Kirk gave a platform to “his biggest detractors.”
“He gave the people who hated him most an opportunity to argue their standpoint,” he said.
