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

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 10

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.
