FBI Director Kash Patel did not disclose for hours that Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer had been arrested, ensuring that President Donald Trump could make the announcement on television.
Two days after Kirk’s murder, Patel revealed that Tyler Robinson, 22, had been taken into custody at 10 pm on Thursday in Utah, or midnight Eastern Standard Time.
