FBI Director Kash Patel shut down numerous accusations that have been made by podcast host Candace Owens involving the murder of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk.
During his appearance on Friday on the Sirius XM The Megyn Kelly Show podcast, Kelly started out by asking Patel if they believe they have the "proper suspect in custody" — if Tyler Robinson is "in fact, the man who killed Kirk."

Patel didn't hesitate in the slightest and answered, "Yes."
The host then brought up one of the wild accusations that have been made by Owens, which includes claiming that Kirk's own friends and his organization allegedly knew and approved of his murder. Insane.
"Do you have any credible reason to believe that anyone connected with the Turning Point organization had anything to do with Charlie's death?" Kelly asked.
Patel's response: "Zero."
He was then pressed about other claims that Owens has made about the alleged involvement of foreign governments in Kirk's assassination, like French paratroopers, Egyptian Air Force planes flying out of Provo, Utah, and "potential underground assassins traveling through unseen tunnels," as the producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, Blake Neff, previously explained.
"At this time, the FBI doesn't have credible information to connect any foreign governments to it," Patel said.

The FBI director made it clear that the investigation is continuing and they are looking into everything, no matter how small.
"We are not done just because we arrest someone, just like in the pipe bomber case," Patel said. "We don't just say, Okay, we're done, on to the next. The investigative team continues to work with the Utah authorities, and they're deriving their own leads and coming back to us saying, 'Hey, can you look at this piece of information? Can we get a search warrant on this account? What about this individual who is located in X, Y, or Z?'"
"We're tracking all that down," he added.
The host also asked about speculation that has surfaced on the internet regarding the bizarre text message thread between Robinson and his roommate. Kelly said a lot of people think it's the reason some believe that Robinson didn't commit the crime, because it sounds fake and made up.
"Do you have any reason to believe that that text exchange was not real between them for whatever reason, potentially even having been orchestrated between the two of them?" the host asked.
Patel said he recognized the emotional charge this case has, but made it clear that he doesn't "believe the prosecutors in the state of Utah would be using any piece of information or evidence that was not credible."
For the past three months, we've received a flood of questions about Candace Owens and her claims attacking Charlie's closest friends. For three months, we preferred to remain silent, but the attacks have not stopped.

The Patel comments come after Neff and TPUSA recently called out Owens for her "reckless disregard for the truth," and the "evil" lies he said she's made about Kirk's assassination, as RedState reported.
