FBI Director Kash Patel, in a high-stakes testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, revealed that over 20 individuals are under federal investigation in connection with the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Patel said that investigators have uncovered a digital trail involving Discord servers and social media threads that suggest the killing may not have been the act of a lone individual. The FBI is currently analyzing user interactions, messages, and planning activity that may point to a wider conspiracy.
