FBI Director Kash Patel on Sunday afternoon reaffirmed to the American people that the FBI is working thoroughly and exhaustively into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Patel, in a lengthy post on X, shared that the FBI is investigating multiple theories into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
He specifically added that the FBI is looking into “hand gestures observed as potential ‘signals’ near Charlie at the time of his assassination.”
The “hands signal” theory Patel was referring to has gained traction on X, and some videos have received over 2 million views.
However, Blake Marnell, who goes by Brick Suit on X, noted that the man accused of giving signals was Charlie’s friend and Christian author Frank Turek.
As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion.
The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination.
We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential “signals” near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025.
Some details are known today, while others are still being pursued to ensure every possibility is considered. Our primary focus is to complete this investigation and deliver justice. To protect the integrity of the investigation and subsequent prosecution, we cannot release every piece of information we have to the public right now. We will ensure every question is addressed at the appropriate moment.
Regarding specific details, such as questions about the plane that allegedly turned off its transponder after departing from an airport near the assassination site, we can share updates when answers are confirmed. After interviews with the pilot and consultation with the FAA, we determined the transponder was not turned off. Incomplete flight data in rural areas caused the apparent gap.
The entire FBI mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk. We will not rest until justice is served, and our investigation into this assassination will continue until every question is answered.
Patel’s comment on the pilots who were accused of turning off the planes’ transponders was an attempt to combat the following rumor floating on X:
