Trump Jr. Says Unsealed Texts Tie 23-Year-Old Tyler Robinson to Charlie Kirk Killing

Summary
Unsealed evidence at Tyler Robinson’s Utah preliminary hearing shows the 23-year-old allegedly confessed in texts after Charlie Kirk’s Sept. 10, 2025 shooting, Donald Trump Jr. said after attending the proceedings.
Those messages reportedly said Robinson "had enough of his hatred," while Trump Jr. said DNA evidence and Robinson’s surrender make the case against him "cut-and-dry" and undercut conspiracy theories about Kirk’s death.
Robinson is accused of fatally shooting Kirk, 31, at Utah Valley University and could face the death penalty if convicted; prosecutors are using the hearing to establish probable cause for trial.
Trump Jr. said his main remaining question is security, arguing only six police officers were active at the campus event even though Turning Point USA appearances typically draw thousands.
More prosecution evidence is expected Friday, and no trial date has been set.
