FBI director Kash Patel revealed the latest evidence the FBI found tying Tyler Robinson to the killing of Charlie Kirk, including a screwdriver on the rooftop from where the shot was fired, and a towel that was wrapped around the gun. DNA evidence from these have been sent for processing, and they match with that of Robinson, Kash Patel revealed in a Fox interview. “I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA from the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody,” Patel said.Patel also revealed that Tyler had exchanged a message with someone that said he had an opportunity to “take out Charlie Kirk” he was going to do it. There was a written note saying the same before the shooting, and it was destroyed. But Patel said FBI found the forensic evidence of the note’s existence.
