Pastor Paula White-Cain, a longtime spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, argued that the murder of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was part of God's plan.

During a Sunday interview on Newsmax, White-Cain said she had known Kirk for over a decade.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested that Tyler Robinson shot MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk because he was taking gender-affirming drugs, even though there is no evidence that the shooter was transgender.

"How much Christian blood has been spilled this month?" Campos-Duffy asked co-host Kevin Corke on Sunday. "We can't forget about the children who were gunned down while attending Mass at a Catholic school. And we saw that in the end, that was also a trans shooter. So what can we know about this ideology and why is it so violent?"

FBI Director Kash Patel Saturday made a comment that stood out to some experts as implausible, or worse, completely false.

Patel over the weekend addressed the arrest of Tyler Robinson, who stands accused of using a rifle to shoot and kill conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, on social media.

An expert just made a prediction about when the suspect who assassinated MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk will be caught.

"My prediction is that this person will be in custody very soon," Tom Chittum, retired ATF agent, said in an interview with MSNBC Thursday.

Federal law enforcement officials disputed a report about engraved messages allegedly found on ammunition inside the rifle believed to have been used to kill Charlie Kirk.

The Wall Street Journal reported that a preliminary internal report and a source familiar with the investigation said ammunition recovered with the .30-caliber hunting rifle appeared to be engraved with what was statements expressing so-called "transgender and anti-fascist ideology," but a senior law enforcement official told the New York Times that might not be accurate.

At least five historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) were reportedly locked down after receiving threats the day after MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was murdered.

Alabama State University, Clark Atlanta University, Virginia State University, Hampton University, and Southern University Baton Rouge all notified students and faculty of the threats on Thursday.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) blamed reporters for the death of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, even though the shooting suspect was still at large.

The lawmaker lashed out at members of the media during a gaggle outside the Capitol on Thursday.

Ammunition found with a weapon linked to Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting was engraved with messages linked to the right-wing influencer's political enemies, according to sources.

The Wall Street Journal reported that an internal law enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation show that ammunition found in the weapon was engraved with what the newspaper described as expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.
