FBI’s Dan Bongino Won’t Rule Out Wider Conspiracy in Charlie Kirk Assassination: ‘We’re Looking Into Everything’

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is refusing to rule out the possibility that there was a wider conspiracy to assassinate Charlie Kirk that went beyond Tyler Robinson, the man alleged to have murdered Kirk last Wednesday.

Bongino’s comments came during a Monday morning interview on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer that began with Hemmer asking if “anyone” in the crowd assembled at Utah Valley University assisted Robinson.

“Well, that’s what we’re looking into now, Bill. Obviously we have a suspect in custody, it’s quite clear, that’s why I’m here discussing this individual. However, if this was a larger effort, there was any aiding and abetting, whether it be financial, whether it be someone who knew the specifics of it and failed to report that. As you heard the director say this morning, we as an FBI, our team, along with our state and local partners are looking into that,” answered Bongino before continuing:

We have a lot of technical capabilities, a lot of good investigative capabilities where we can scrub that entire network, whether it’s OSINT, open source intel through social media that people posted publicly. We’ll be looking at that. We’ll also be dropping a lot of paper, a lot subpoenas out there to take a look to see if there was any extended network.

But I want to be clear, there are things I can say, as you well know today, and things I can’t. I don’t want to get ahead or jeopardize the investigation. But what I can share with you, Bill, I will. We are clinging to transparency here. This is, you know, the era of the Cronkite and Jennings generation is over. New media now is media. And we want to be sure we can do everything in our power and do everything in our power to share what we can, when we can while still balancing the needs of the investigation.

“I’m going to drill down on this. Is there any connection at all between the person who was asking the question about about mass shooters and trans killers? Or was that just a stunning coincidence when that single shot was fired?” followed up Hemmer. Kirk was arguing with a student about transgender shooters when he was shot.

“Well, we’re investigating that. I don’t want to say conclusively right now if there was a connection or not. Sometimes he’s, I mean, Charlie was known to speak out about these issues. He was a powerful voice. It’s not terribly uncommon for him to get questions like that. However, we are looking into that. Any potential connection here, we’re gonna scrub,” replied Bongino.

“I’m not drawing conclusions from your answer but you’re saying it’s a possibility. Is that what I hear you saying?” inquired Hemmer.

“We’re looking into everything, Bill. There’s not gonna be a stone left unturned if there was anyone involved who aided, abetted. I can’t say that in strong enough terms. Every single FBI asset on this team is being applied and used in this investigation,” responded Bongino.

Notably, the student who was arguing with Kirk when he was shot has already taken to the internet to denounce the murder.

“You sick f*cking psychos that think this is the answer, I don’t know what else to say. It’s f*cking not. It’s awful and a father doesn’t have his kids anymore,” said Hunter Kozak in a video released online. “Charlie had two kids and a wife.”

Robinson himself was reportedly dating and lived with a transgender person transitioning from male to female.
