The federal investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups, despite pledges from the Trump administration to crack down on such groups. Sources indicate that the investigation has found no evidence connecting Robinson to any left-wing organizations, suggesting the act was driven by Robinson’s personal offense at Kirk’s ideology. Bringing federal charges may be challenging due to logistical factors such as Robinson not traveling across state lines and Kirk not being a federal official.
