FBI Director Confirms Rapid Manhunt Following Charlie Kirk Assassination Attempt

[00:00] Thank you. And then Director Patel,

[00:02] there's been so many conspiracy theories

[00:04] swirling around about the assassination

[00:06] of Charlie Kirk. Do you have any updates

[00:07] for us, especially in light of all the

[00:09] online content that everyone's been

[00:11] talking about?

[00:11] >> The only thing we deal with at the FBI

[00:13] and the Department of Justice is facts.

[00:14] And we delivered in record speed a

[00:16] manhunt to capture Charlie Kirk's

[00:18] alleged session in 33 hours. And if you

[00:20] put that in perspective, Luigi Manion or

[00:22] the Boston Mama, they took them 5 days

[00:24] and a police officer lost their life in

[00:26] their manhunt. We are running out

[00:27] absolutely every single lead. And the

[00:29] best thing we can do to honor my friend

[00:30] Charlie Kirk's life is to make sure that

[00:32] everyone involved is prosecuted to the

[00:34] full extent of the law. And that's what

[00:35] we're focused on, investigating the

[00:37] facts, not trading in conspiracy

[00:39] theories.

[00:39] >> Okay.
