Was TPUSA behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination? FBI Director drops a blunt 'one-word' response; Kash Patel casts doubt on Candace Owens’ 'foreign hand' allegation but says 'we’re not done'

FBI Director Kash Patel came up with a sharp dismissal when asked whether TPUSA was behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination, responding with a single, unequivocal word: 'Zero'. Patel stressed that investigators have found no evidence linking the organization to the attack. He also addressed Candace Owens’ claim of a 'foreign hand', noting that the FBI currently has no credible information to support the allegation. Still, Patel emphasized that the investigation is ongoing, adding, “We’re not done.” His comments aimed to curb growing speculation while underscoring the bureau’s commitment to following every legitimate lead.



Charlie, the Turning Point USA founder, was fatally shot on September 10 while attending an event at Utah Valley University. He is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children, MacArthur and Genevieve Grace. During his recent appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, when asked whether the FBI Director believed - or had any credible information - that anyone within TPUSA was involved in Charlie’s assassination, he responded firmly in the negative.

KASH PATEL CASTS DOUBT ON CANDACE OWENS’ 'FOREIGN HAND' THEORY

Candace Owens’ latest accusation has sparked a major uproar, surpassing her past controversies and drawing attention from foreign governments, media figures, and the FBI. Owens claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron authorized a plot to assassinate her, allegedly involving members of France’s National Gendarmerie Intervention Group and 'one Israeli'.


The claim was widely ridiculed online, yet it reached the FBI Director, who was questioned about it on The Megyn Kelly Show. While Patel did not support the theory, his comments brought renewed scrutiny to Owens’ unverified allegations. On Kelly’s show, Patel was pressed directly on whether he thought a foreign government had targeted Owens. He didn’t endorse her claim, but he stopped short of ruling it out as well.

"Any American that receives a death threat from overseas or anywhere in America is going to be fully investigated. So we’re not going to turn our eye away from that investigation or any others,” Patel said.


“So far, we are just looking at everything that comes in… If someone feels that their life is being threatened, we are of course looking at it.

“At this time, the FBI doesn’t have credible information to connect any foreign government - but we continue the investigation. We’re not done,” Patel further clarified.
