FBI agents in Salt Lake City reportedly sat on a crucial photo of the suspected assassin who assassinated Charlie Kirk for nearly 12 hours before sharing it with their boss, Director Kash Patel.
This delay prompted an angry response from Patel, who was incensed that he was not informed more quickly.
Charlie Kirk, the fearless founder of Turning Point USA and a relentless voice against the radical left’s agenda, was murdered in cold blood on Wednesday while addressing thousands of students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Just hours after the assassination, Kash Patel announced that a second person of interest had been taken into custody following Kirk’s murder. Law enforcement at the time claimed the assassin was “dressed in all dark clothing” and fired a single shot “potentially from a roof.”
But hours later, Patel confirmed that the individual questioned had been released after interrogation.
“The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency,” Kash Patel said.
