FBI tried to hide trans identity of Charlie Kirk suspect’s lover after his chilling four-word response to investigators

The FBI tried keeping the gender identity of the trans partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer a secret because he had been ‘extremely cooperative’ with authorities. 

Sources familiar with the case said that Lance Twiggs was ‘aghast’ when confronted by investigators over his lover’s alleged assassination plot, saying: ‘Oh my God, no.’

Investigators are looking into whether Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was motivated by his belief that the conservative activist’s views on transgender people were hateful. 

After asking investigators if ‘that’s what happened’, a horrified Twiggs agreed to cooperate and said ‘here are all the messages’, according to Axios.

Discord messages sent by the alleged killer, who was listed as ‘Tyler’, reportedly mentioned how he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot. 

The sender also said that the rifle would have to be retrieved, Utah governor Spencer Cox said during a news conference. 

An affidavit that detailed the Discord conversation also mentioned that Robinson had talked about changing outfits after the shooting.  

The messages helped investigators find and arrest Robinson for the assassination, and they gave evidence for prosecutors to seek an aggravated murder charge against the alleged killer, which is the only charge in Utah that carries the death penalty.

FBI Reportedly Attempted to Hide the Identity of Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect’s Transgender Boyfriend

The FBI reportedly tried to hide the identity of the transgender boyfriend of the suspect in the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs.

A relative has described Twiggs as “full of evil and hatred.” His own Reddit post described being thrown out of his family home as a minor because they believed he was demonic.

The Daily Mail reports:

The FBI tried keeping the gender identity of the trans partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer a secret because he had been ‘extremely cooperative’ with authorities.

Discord messages sent by the alleged killer, who was listed as ‘Tyler’, reportedly mentioned how he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot.

It appears as though a large number of people in fringe online transgender communities knew about the plot in advance.

Neighbors reported suspicious out-of-state visitors to Robinson’s home in the weeks leading up to the shooting, describing them as giving off a “bad vibe,” further fueling speculation of external coordination.

Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder, discharge of a firearm causing serious injury, and obstruction of justice, and could face Utah’s death penalty by firing squad if convicted.

Researchers Found Unvaccinated Children Healthier Than Vaccinated, Didn’t Publish Findings

Researchers from a large health care system in Michigan found that vaccinated children were more likely to develop a chronic health condition, but never published the findings, according to a copy of the study obtained by The Epoch Times.

Henry Ford Health System, whose employees carried out the study, said it was deficient.

Dr. Marcus Zervos, an infectious disease specialist at the Henry Ford Health, and colleagues studied 18,468 children born between 2000 and 2016 who were enrolled in the health system’s insurance plan, drawing data from medical, clinical, and payer records and supplementing with information from Michigan’s immunization registry.

After 10 years, 57 percent of the vaccinated children had a chronic health condition such as asthma, compared to just 17 percent of the unvaccinated children.

This study found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, when compared to children unexposed to vaccination,” the authors wrote. “This association was primarily driven by asthma, atopic disease, eczema, autoimmune disease and neurodevelopmental disorders. This suggests that in certain children, exposure to vaccination may increase the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition, particularly for one of these conditions.”

The study was first reported by Aaron Siri, managing partner of Siri & Glimstad LLP, this month in his book, Vaccines, Amen: The Religion of Vaccines.

Before receiving a copy of the study, The Epoch Times asked Zervos and his coauthors for it and questioned why it was never published.

Zervos responded to questions about the study by asking in an email, “Can you tell me what book this appeared in.” When told, he did not respond further.

Co-authors did not return inquiries.

A spokesperson for Henry Ford Health acknowledged that researchers there carried out the study.

This report was not published because it did not meet the rigorous scientific standards we demand as a premier medical research institution,” a spokesperson for Henry Ford Health told The Epoch Times in an email. “Data has consistently shown vaccinations are a safe and effective way to protect children against potentially life-altering diseases.”

Karine Jean-Pierre: Biden’s health talking points were handled ‘at senior level’

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre testified before the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive fitness while in office.

Jean-Pierre did not speak to reporters before or after the five-hour interview on Capitol Hill.

She told the committee that “she did not see a change in Biden’s competency from 2009 to 2025,” according to a source familiar with the interview.

“She did acknowledge President Biden is not the same speaker he was when she met him,” the source noted. However, “she does not know why his speaking changed and never asked him.”

The former Biden press secretary publicly defended Biden’s June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election. During the debate, Trump famously responded to an incoherent comment from the then-president, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.”

Jean-Pierre told reporters at a press briefing following the debate that Biden was “as sharp as ever.”

According to the anonymous source, Jean-Pierre said she was told by “senior staff that President Biden has a cold.”

During her two years working for the Biden administration, she also called online videos critical of Biden’s mental acuity “cheap fakes.”

Citing the “cheap fakes” comment at the interview, Jean-Pierre said that this talking point “appeared as a talking point in her binder, but she does not know specifically who added it.”

Jean-Pierre told investigators that “various advisors” added talking points into her press briefing binder, but talking points related specifically to Biden’s health and mental fitness “were handled exclusively at the senior level,” the source said.

Jean-Pierre’s tenure as White House press secretary began when she replaced former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in 2022 and ended when Biden’s term came to a close in early 2025. She announced shortly after leaving her post that she would also be leaving the Democrat party to become an Independent. Around that time, she broke the news about her new book detailing her time working under the Biden administration.

“Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” is set to be published on October 21, 2025. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (D-Ky.) said that Jean-Pierre was intentionally one of the last people to be interviewed for the investigation due to the upcoming memoir.

“We believe that she’s written some things in the book that are gonna be of interest to our entire investigation,” Comer told reporters.

FAUCI COVID COVERUP: Fauci Directed Colleagues to DESTROY Federal Records – Then Denied It Under Oath

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released emails revealing Dr. Fauci directed colleagues to delete emails and records – despite denying he did this under oath.

“Newly released emails show Fauci directed colleagues to “delete this after you read it”—dating back to Feb. 2020,” Senator Rand Paul said.

“He denied it under oath. These documents are now public, and Fauci will finally testify before Chairman Rand Paul,” he said.

Fauci instructed his colleague at the NIH to “delete” his email addressing the soaring death rate in New York City.

Call me “full of sh*t,” spin the numbers, and order your staff to “delete this after you read it.”

“The coverup began while the virus was barely on America’s radar. Just one day after the Feb. 1, 2020 Proximal Origins call, Fauci, Francis Collins, and Jeremy Farrar plotted how to “get ahead of the science and the narrative” under WHO,” Rand Paul said.

“Please delete this after you read it,” Fauci wrote.

Senate Republicans defeat Democrats’ effort to force the release of Epstein files

In a close vote, Senate Republicans defeated an effort Wednesday by Democrats to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill that would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The Senate voted 51-49 to dismiss the changes to the bill, with Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Rand Paul of Kentucky joining with all Democrats in opposition.

For months, Democrats have clamored for the release of what’s become known as the Epstein files, looking for practically every opportunity to force Republicans to either join their push for disclosure or publicly oppose a cause that many in the Republican base support. President Donald Trump signaled as he was running for president that he was open to releasing a full accounting of the case, but is now trying to dismiss the push as a “Democrat hoax.”

So far, Democrats have been successful in forcing Republican leadership to grapple with the issue, yet it was unclear whether they would actually be able to crack Trump’s hold on congressional Republicans to force legislation through Congress.

Anthony Fauci’s explosive secret emails exposing COVID ‘lies’ are uncovered: ‘delete this email after you read’

Emails unearthed by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee appear to contradict testimony previously given by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Capitol Hill.

Kentucky Republican Rand Paul sent a letter Tuesday to the former COVID-19 response director with new demands for him to appear before the committee and tell the truth about efforts to conceal information from Congress about deleting official records.

During a testimony given to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in June of 2024, Fauci was asked if he ever deleted official records, worked to obstruct Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests, or deleted communications relating ‘to the Wuhan lab or the origins of the virus’, all of which he denied.

Yet, Paul provides two examples of instances when Fauci instructed fellow government employees to conceal information relating to their work.

In the letter, the Kentucky Republican notes that in an ’email dated February 2, 2020,’ Fauci ‘directed then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins to “Please delete this e-mail after you read it.”’ 

‘In another email dated July 20, 2020, to an NIH employee [Fauci] stated, “I do not want to engage any more with this nonsense. And so, please delete this e-mail after you read it.”‘

Paul is now calling on Fauci to respond in the next two weeks to the committee’s inquiries about past statements he has made under oath.

The Homeland Security Committee leaders are also seeking to have Fauci appear in front of Congress again before the end of the year, and have sent him dates in October, November, and December to appear before the committee.

STUNNING TESTIMONY: Political Economist and Brownstone Fellow Dr. Toby Rogers TORCHES CDC’s Autism Narrative Before U.S. Senate — Exposes “Genetic Myth,” Shredded Studies, and Hidden Data Proving Vaccines Drive the Autism Epidemic

The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was rocked on Tuesday by jaw-dropping testimony from political economist Dr. Toby Rogers, Ph.D., M.P.P., who dismantled the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) long-standing narrative on autism.

Dr. Rogers, a Brownstone Institute Fellow and leading researcher, testified that the autism epidemic in America is being fueled by toxic exposures, most notably vaccines, and not by “bad luck genetics,” as government health officials have claimed for decades.

Rogers recounted how his then-partner’s son was diagnosed with autism in 2015, prompting him to dig into the CDC’s claims. As a PhD student trained to scrutinize primary sources, he discovered the agency’s story simply didn’t add up.

Rogers explained how the CDC has leaned on three flimsy excuses for the explosion of autism cases since the 1970s: genetics, parental age, and obscure drugs like valproic acid and thalidomide. But none of these can explain the staggering reality:

Rogers:
“On July 4, 2015, my then-partner’s son was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. I was in a Ph.D. program in Political Economy at the University of Sydney where I had access to almost all current scientific and medical journals.

I wanted to better understand what was happening, so I went to the CDC’s webpage on the causes of autism.

As a Ph.D. student I was trained to focus on primary source documents, so I read all of the references in their footnotes. To my surprise, I quickly discovered that the CDC’s narrative did not add up:

  • Claims that autism is genetic don’t make sense because autism prevalence was rising too fast — there’s no such thing as a genetic epidemic.
  • Then the CDC blamed valproic acid, a treatment for epilepsy that is contraindicated in pregnancy, and thalidomide, which was never approved for use in the U.S. — so those factors could only explain a handful of cases stemming from inadvertent use.
  • Finally, the CDC pointed to advanced parental age; however, the effect sizes were modest and the increase in the proportion of older parents is insufficient to explain the surge in autism prevalence.

Rogers changed his doctoral thesis to focus on the political economy of autism, analyzing over 1,000 studies.

Rogers detailed how 22 studies claiming “vaccines don’t cause autism” are essentially worthless because not a single one used a true unvaccinated control group.

Meanwhile, over $2.3 billion has been poured into genetic research with virtually nothing to show for it.

FBI Official FIRED, Escorted Out of Building After Leaked Audio Released of Him Claiming “There’s Something Being Covered Up” in Epstein Case – “A Lot of Powerful Democrats” Are on Epstein List

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released leaked audio of Mitch Rosas, an FBI Senior Paralegal Specialist, confessing there is “something” being covered up in the Epstein case.

Rosas also said the FBI won’t release all Epstein files until “this Administration is over.” He also suggested a lot of powerful Democrats are on the Epstein client list.

“None of the people that are in a position to answer the questions are willing to do it because it’s clear that they’re covering something and protecting someone or some people,” Rosas said.

Rosas was fired on Monday and escorted out of the FBI building.

Per James O’Keefe:

“The individual Mitchell Reyes Rosas has been dismissed/fired as of today, Rosas was escorted from the FBI building earlier.”

Rosas, the FBI official, also sent OMG a message trying to stop the publication of this damning audio on Epstein.

“I am not a government official and was not speaking on behalf of anyone but myself. I was not informed the conversation was on the record. The transcript you reference is a fabrication and does not reflect what I said. I do not consent to publication. Any portrayal otherwise would be false, misleading, and damaging.
I reserve all legal rights and remedies, including defamation, false light, and intrusion upon seclusion. Do not publish. l will be represented by counsel.”

Liberal media accused of covering up Ukrainian girl’s brutal murder in Dem-led city as video explodes online 

Horrific footage of a career criminal stabbing a Ukrainian refugee from behind on a North Carolina train has prompted a national uproar – but you won’t find it on any liberal media websites. 

Recently surfaced surveillance footage shows the suspect, whom police have named as Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, killing Iryna Zarutska, 23, on board a South End light rail train in Charlotte on August 22. 

The crazed attacker can be seen lunging at Zarutska from behind, before the footage skips the graphic slaughter to show him carrying a knife dripping with blood as he walked through the train carriage and another passenger sprinted away.

Zarutska came to the US for safety after fleeing Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s ongoing invasion of her home country, and the shocking video of her final moments exploded online. 

People took to social media to share their sadness that she was not protected by the state of North Carolina or the liberal city of Charlotte, where Brown had allegedly been arrested more than 14 times previously but remained on the streets. 

However, the shocking story is notably absent from US liberal media sites, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press and CNN

The Daily Mail has contacted the outlets for clarification on the reasoning behind their editorial judgment. 

Democrat Mayor of Charlotte Vi Lyles suggested that some publishers chose not to share the footage ‘out of respect for Iryna’s family’ – but the police force she is in charge of made the video public first of all. 

The Daily Mail has contacted Lyles’s office for more information. 

In her statement, she said: ‘The video of the heartbreaking attack that took Iryna Zarutska’s life is now public. 

‘I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the footage out of respect for Iryna’s family. 

‘This was a senseless and tragic loss. My prayers remain with her loved ones as they continue to grieve through an unimaginable time. 

‘Like so many of you, I’m heartbroken — and I’ve been thinking hard about what safety really looks like in our city. 

‘I remain committed to doing all we can to protect our residents and ensure Charlotte is a place where everyone feels safe.’

But people on social media lambasted the liberal media for the lack of coverage, with many speculating that the outlets did not want to write about the killing for racial reasons. 

Elon Musk highlighted the lack of coverage by re-sharing one post counting how many articles each outlet had written about the stabbing, with the comment: ‘Zero’.
