FBI Director Kash Patel said \u201cmultiple\u201d electronic devices were seized from the Utah home of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of fatally shooting<\/a> Charlie Kirk last week, as part of the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to be interviewing scores of people, not just these chats on Discord, but any communications this individual have,” Patel said Monday evening during an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve seized multiple electronic devices from the home of the suspect and his romantic partner,” he continued. “We\u2019ve got computers, we\u2019ve got laptops, gaming systems, cell phones.”<\/p>\n

Law enforcement identified<\/a> 22-year-old Robinson as the shooter who allegedly shot and killed<\/a> Kirk, a conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

“The evidence and information will come out. I won\u2019t stylize the evidence, but I will say what was found in terms of information was a text message exchange where he, the suspect, specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and he was going to do that,\u201d the FBI director told host Sean Hannity. <\/p>\n

On Monday, Patel, who is facing growing scrutiny<\/a> over his handling of the case, said the bureau reconstructed a note from Robinson, stating the alleged suspect planned to take Kirk out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect wrote a note saying, \u2018I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I\u2019m going to take it.\u2019 That note was written before the shooting. Evidence of its existence \u2014 we now have learned existed before the shooting \u2014 was in the location in the suspect and partner\u2019s home,\u201d Patel said Monday<\/a> on \u201cFox and Friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said that the note was destroyed, but \u201cwe have found forensic evidence of the note, and we have confirmed what that note says, because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agency also collected DNA evidence from a screwdriver located at the scene and a towel used to wrap the rifle allegedly used in Kirk\u2019s killing, according to Patel. <\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said Robinson<\/a> was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, who is cooperating with law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robinson is set for his first court appearance on Tuesday. He has been arrested<\/a> on suspicion of aggravated murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
