Donald Trump has revealed that

authorities believe they have Charlie Kirk’s assassin in custody.

Speaking to Fox News, the President said: “I think we have him.

I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody.

He’s in custody.”

Trump also said that “someone that was very close to

him turned him in,” adding a “minister, father” helped in his capture.

“I hope he’s gonna be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty for what he did,” Trump said.
