Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi. We will provide updates when able."
"I appreciate this opportunity. Look, as I stated, I was being transparent with working with the public on our findings as I had them. I stated in that message that we had a subject.' And that we were going to interview him. And we did and he was released. The job of the FBI is not just to manhunt the actual suspect who did the killing or suspects but it's also to eliminate targets and eliminate subjects who are not involved in the process. That's what we were doing."
FBI Director Kash Patel posted that a subject in the Charlie Kirk shooting was in custody, then later said that person was released after interrogation. Patel said his intention was transparency and explained the FBI interviews and removes individuals who are not involved as part of investigations. Patel defended the timing of his messages while acknowledging the initial wording could have been improved. He thanked local and state Utah authorities for their partnership. Patel's tweets and actions during the response prompted concern among some law enforcement officials as the investigation continued.
