DNA evidence links suspect to killing of Charlie Kirk, FBI director says

Kash Patel says DNA found on towel wrapped around rifle believed to have been used to kill Kirk matches that of Tyler Robinson

Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, has said that DNA evidence found by investigators links the man accused of killing rightwing political activist Charlie Kirk to the fatal attack despite his alleged refusal to cooperate with authorities after his arrest.

Speaking on the conservative-friendly Fox News network on Monday morning, Patel said that DNA found on a towel wrapped around the rifle believed to have been used to kill Kirk matches that of the suspect in custody, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
