Operation Underground Railroad: Tim Ballard's Charity Under Scrutiny

Showing 4 Operation Underground Railroad videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Operation Underground Railroad, the anti-child-trafficking charity Tim Ballard founded and later departed amid publicly reported misconduct allegations unrelated to Charlie Kirk, resurfaces in Candace Owens's investigation into Kirk's assassination after she reports that former Utah state representative Phil Lyman met with Ballard the day after the shooting, a meeting she describes as unexpected and difficult to explain. Owens separately notes that individuals connected to a private jet whose air traffic control transponder was switched off around the time of the assassination, a detail covered elsewhere in this material regarding pilot Derek Maxfield, were photographed wearing Operation Underground Railroad apparel, a detail she presents as suggestive rather than conclusively connected to Kirk's death. Owens states she personally interviewed Ballard years earlier while working for Prager University, before his departure from the charity, and that broadcaster Glenn Beck served as an early major donor and public champion of the organization's anti-trafficking mission. Separately in this same source material, Owens raises unverified claims about Erika Kirk's own connection to a corporate espionage-themed film shot near Fort Huachuca, a claim Erika Kirk has directly disputed.
