In a major update on the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, former President Donald Trump confirmed that authorities have apprehended a suspect. Speaking in an interview, Trump said, “I think we have him. He’s in custody,” expressing confidence that investigators have found the right person.
The arrest comes after weeks of national attention and speculation surrounding the murder of Kirk, who at just 31 had become a leading voice for conservative youth as the founder of Turning Point USA. Trump revealed that the suspect was allegedly turned in by someone close. “Someone very close to him turned him in,” he noted, hinting that a minister or father figure played a key role in the arrest.
Calling Kirk “like a son,” Trump praised his work in energizing young voters and shaping political debate. He also expressed hope that justice would be swift and decisive. The investigation, led by a joint task force of federal and local authorities, has faced intense public scrutiny. Officials are expected to release more information about the suspect and upcoming court proceedings soon.
Kirk’s death has sparked tributes across the country, with students, colleagues, and supporters honoring his activism. Trump promised that Kirk’s mission will continue, saying, “We’re going to keep fighting for what Charlie believed in.” The arrest offers hope for closure but sets the stage for a closely watched trial that could have major political and cultural repercussions.
