Donald Trump has revealed that the person who allegedly
assassinated Charlie Kirk is in custody.
‘I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,’
the president told Fox & Friends on Friday morning.
Trump said that ‘somebody who was very close’ to the suspect turned him in to police.
Law enforcement will share more details about the suspect’s arrest later on Friday.
Neither the FBI nor the Utah Department of Public Safety have confirmed Trump’s announcement.
His in-studio appearance is rare and comes just two days after the conservative luminary was gunned down during an event on a college campus in Utah.
While Trump said he didn’t want to get ahead of his Justice Department and FBI, he shared a few details that he knows about how they tracked down the suspected shooter.
‘It was a minister who was involved with law enforcement… his good friend is a top U.S. Marshal – and they took it from there,’ Trump said, suggesting that the suspect’s father told him it was time to turn themselves in.
The president traveled to his longtime home of New York City on Thursday for the September 11 Yankees’ remembrance game. He stayed overnight and went in studio for his interview with Fox & Friends.
