Steven Crowder Obtains Leaked Utah County Sheriff’s Office Internal Docs About Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin Tyler Robinson

Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder has obtained leaked internal documents from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office regarding suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.

The latest leak comes one day after Crowder announced that his company has been subpoenaed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) over another leak about the case.

The document, a probable cause statement, details the arrest of 22-year-old Robinson, as well as the evidence against him, including engraved anti-fascist messages on bullet casings, a family member’s confession tip, and Discord messages about hiding the weapon.

According to the Probable Cause Statement signed by Detective Brian Davis, surveillance footage captured Robinson arriving on campus around 8:29 AM in a gray Dodge Challenger, dressed in a maroon t-shirt, light-colored shorts, a black hat with a white logo, and light shoes. He later changed into a long-sleeve black shirt featuring an American flag and eagle design, dark jeans, and white/gray Converse Chuck Taylor shoes with black soles, clothing that matched the sniper’s description.

Investigators tracked Robinson climbing onto the rooftop of the Losee Center building around 12:17 PM, positioning himself with a view of the courtyard where Kirk was speaking at his “Prove Me Wrong” event. At approximately 12:22 PM, a single gunshot rang out, striking the 31-year-old Kirk in the neck and causing fatal blood loss as he collapsed onstage. Robinson allegedly fled the rooftop, discarding a Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle wrapped in a dark towel in a grassy area east of the building. Shoe impressions from Converse sneakers were found on the rooftop edge, and a palm print was recovered, further linking him to the scene.

The documents reveal that Robinson had become “more political in recent years,” with a family member recounting a dinner conversation where he expressed hatred for Kirk, accusing the conservative activist of “spreading hate.” On the evening of September 11, that same family member contacted authorities through a friend, claiming Robinson had confessed or implicated himself in the shooting. Investigators also interviewed Robinson’s roommate, who showed them Discord messages from a contact named “Tyler” discussing retrieving a rifle from a bush, engraving bullets, wrapping the weapon in a towel, and changing outfits to evade detection.

Possible accomplice of Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson probed as footage emerges of suspicious character after shooting

The FBI is investigating whether assassin Tyler Robinson had an accomplice with him when he fired a single, fatal shot at conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. 

Agents are looking into footage showing Robinson, 22, talking into a doorbell camera about the murder shortly after he scampered away from the Losee Center at Utah Valley University.

The footage was turned over to the bureau by university officials themselves from security camera footage.

The Sun reported that the footage shows a man walking by the house, speaking into a cellphone about the murder. 

The FBI is not clear yet whether the man on the video is Robinson or not and the public statements given by officials have all said they believe he acted alone. 

At least one family that lives near the UVU campus was interviewed as part of the investigation. 

When contacted by The Daily Mail, the FBI declined comment.  

Police have evacuated the area around Tyler Robinson’s family home after receiving ‘concerning information’ from the residence.

Discord contradicts FBI with mysterious statement about Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s ‘plan’

Discord has denied Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer Tyler Robinson used its platform to formulate his plan to gun down the conservative figure – contradicting comments made by state and federal officials.

The social and gaming platform said in a statement that its servers were in no way involved in Robinson’s alleged plot, nor in any correspondence regarding the hiding of evidence after the fact. 

‘In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord,’ a spokesperson told the outlet.

‘The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages,’ the statement continued. 

‘These were communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.’

Robinson, 22, was turned in by his own father and arrested on Thursday night over the shooting of Kirk, 31, at his ‘American Comeback Tour’ event at Utah Valley University.

Kirk was shot in the neck moments after making comments about mass shootings, with horrifying footage showing him recoil from the impact. He was pronounced dead at hospital.

Robinson’s roommate told police the suspect had discussed the murder weapon and his movements after the killing on an online chatroom, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said Friday.

Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals

Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it. 

In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.

According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.

By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he publicly referred to as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.” 

“He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized.

Red-flag speech Charlie Kirk’s ‘assassin’ gave at family dinner

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson made chilling remarks about the conservative commentator during a family dinner in the lead-up to his murder. 

Robinson, 22, brought up Kirk’s visit to Utah Valley University on September 10 and spoke of his dislike for the 31-year-old MAGA influencer, family members told investigators.

‘They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,’ Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed in a press conference Friday morning. 

The family members also told police Robinson had described Kirk as ‘full of hate and spreading hate’. 

Robinson’s comments raised a red flag among his family – so much so that they told police about the conversation following his arrest for Kirk’s murder.   

It was Robinson’s father who ultimately turned his son into law enforcement.

Sources told the Daily Mail that Robinson confessed to his father, Matt Robinson, who owns and operates a construction company. 

Matt had recognized his son in photos shared by the FBI and confronted him about the shooting. 

When Robinson confessed, his dad urged him to turn himself in. 

The 22-year-old reportedly told his dad that he would rather kill himself than turn himself in, but was persuaded to speak with a local youth minister, who also works with the U.S. Marshals Service. 

Cox said Friday that a family member of Robinson’s ‘reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident’.

He was taken into custody Thursday night.

New York Post Publishes Photo of Rifle Allegedly Used in Kirk Assassination

On Thursday, the New York Post posted a photo allegedly showing the rifle that law enforcement believes was used to assassinate Charlie Kirk.

Earlier Thursday morning, FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls indicated that they found a rifle in “a wooded area,” and they believed it was the gun used in the assassination.

He described it as a “high-power, bolt-action rifle.”

The New York Post published a photo, which they claim is the rifle recovered, describing it as a “30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle.”

A 30.06 bolt action is a popular big game hunting rifle and typically has an internal, fixed magazine, holding four or five rounds. The bolt must be manually lifted, pulled back, then pushed forward into battery, between shots, as each round must be manually loaded into the chamber.

Breitbart News noted that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) reacted to the assassination by pushing for more gun control.

Suspect in Charlie Kirk Assassination Identified as 22-Year-Old Utah Resident Tyler Robinson

A suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father, according to President Donald Trump, and according to reports, it was Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah.

Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, was fatally shot in the neck during a campus event on Wednesday, sparking nationwide outrage and a massive manhunt.

Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement.

His name was released on Friday morning by The New York Post, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.

“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning.

Trump added, “I hope he’s going to be found guilty and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this.”

AOC Pushes Gun Control After Charlie Kirk Assassinated with Bolt Action Rifle

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) described the assassination of Charlie Kirk as “horrific,” then pushed for more gun control, according to The Hill. 

Speaking to reporters, Ocasio-Cortez said, “This is horrific. This is awful.”

She then said, “Are we going to do something, or are we going to argue over rhetoric? That is my question about this. We have to pass gun safety legislation and stop this.”

Ocasio-Cortez did not say what type of gun control she would like to see passed nor what new law she thinks we need against bolt action rifles. 

During a Thursday morning press conference, FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls announced they had found the rifle they believed was used to assassinate Kirk. Bohls said it was a bolt action and they found it in “a wooded area.”

A bolt action rifle is popular for hunting and typically has an internal, fixed magazine, holding 4 or 5 rounds. The bolt must be manually lifted, pulled back, then pushed forward into battery, between shots, as each round must be manually loaded into the chamber. 

Like a revolver, a bolt action rifle is rudimentary. What gun control would impact such rifles?

Steven Crowder Announces He Has Been Subpoenaed Over Explosive ATF Leak Revealing Transgender and Anti-Fascist Engravings on Charlie Kirk Assassin’s Weapon

Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder has announced that his company has been subpoenaed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) after he received a leaked document from within the agency claiming that a weapon found near the site of Charlie Kirk’s assassination was equipped with cartridges etched with symbols and phrases tied to transgender and Antifa ideology.

The FBI confirmed during a press conference on Thursday morning that the shooter’s gun was found in a wooded area near the campus. The Wall Street Journal later reported that its sources confirmed the markings.

In a post on X, Crowder wrote, “Just received word that my company is being subpoenaed by the ATF. No details yet.”

The original post stated, “This morning my team received an e-mail from officer at ATF. The email included a screen shot from what appears to be an internal message describing a weapon and cartridges located by an ATF and other law enforcement near the scene of the Charlie Kirk shooting at Utah Valley State University.”

The document describes the cartridges as bearing etched symbols including the transgender flag colors and phrases such as “Trans Rights Are Human Rights,” hinting at a premeditated act driven by radical beliefs.
