FBI Director Kash Patel said Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of Charlie Kirk, wrote a note stating his intention to “take out” the influential conservative activist.
Patel, speaking to Fox & Friends on Monday, September 15, said the FBI had “forensic evidence” of the note but that it had “since been destroyed”.
Summarizing the note, Patel alleged that Robinson wrote, “I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
“That note was written before the shooting,” Patel said.
It was kept in the home of the suspect and his alleged transgender partner, Patel said, adding that investigators “confirmed what that note says because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.”
