https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-investigating-lot-more-than-20-people-discord-chats-suspected-charlie-kirk-assassinFBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the investigation into the assassination of conservative speaker Charlie Kirk has expanded, with the bureau looking at numerous individuals who may have communicated with the suspect in online chats.
Speaking at a Senate hearing Tuesday, Patel said some of those under scrutiny are linked to an online chatroom where the suspect, Tyler Robinson, allegedly shared his plans.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., directly pressed Patel on whether Kirk’s suspected killer acted alone.
"So others could have been involved?" Kennedy asked.
"Yes, sir," Patel responded.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., also questioned Patel, demanding answers about the Discord server where Kirk’s suspected assassin reportedly engaged with others prior to the attack.
"I see the public reports that the Discord thread had as many as 20 additional users," Hawley said. "It sounds like you're trying to run down all of that to see if that's accurate. Who else may have been on that thread, what they may have known? Is that fair to say?"
Patel replied, "It's a lot more than that, and we're running them all down."
