Pro-MAGA podcast host Steve Crowder said he was subpoenaed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, or ATF, after he revealed alleged details about an investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
In a Thursday morning post on X, Crowder claimed to have received an email from an "officer at ATF." The message included what he said were details about "a weapon and cartridges located by an ATF and other law enforcement near the scene of the Charlie Kirk shooting at Utah Valley State University."
"All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology," the report said.
The New York Times later suggested that law enforcement officials had walked back that claim.
"A senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that the report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted," the Times said.
On Thursday afternoon, Crowder revealed that his company had been subpoenaed.
"Just received word that my company is being subpoenaed by the ATF. No details yet," he wrote on X.
