Trans-Ex Lover Says Robinson Confessed To Charlie Kirk Shooting; Widow Presses Court To Release Evidence

Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, asked a Utah judge Thursday to make all evidence in the preliminary hearing for her husband's accused killer available to the public - the same day prosecutors played a recorded statement in which the suspect's former roommate said he confessed to the shooting.

In a filing submitted as the fourth day of proceedings began, Kirk requested that any exhibits admitted during the hearing for Tyler Robinson be published in real time. The request came hours before prosecutors introduced a redacted video interview with Lance Twiggs, Robinson's former roommate and romantic partner, in which Twiggs told investigators that Robinson confessed to shooting Kirk and said he "wishes he hadn't done it."

Prosecutors also presented text messages between Robinson and Twiggs discussing the aftermath of the Sept. 10, 2025, shooting at Utah Valley University, including efforts to retrieve a rifle and Robinson's stated intention to turn himself in.

Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while speaking at a Turning Point USA event on the Utah Valley University campus. Robinson was arrested after a short manhunt and turned himself in following conversations with family members.

The developments unfolded in 4th District Court before Judge Tony Graf, as the weeklong hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to send the case to trial nears its conclusion. Robinson, 23, faces aggravated murder and other charges in Kirk's killing. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty if he is convicted.

Robinson appeared in court Thursday in a grey suit and tie, with one arm shackled to his waist. He remained seated quietly at the defense table as the evidence was presented. Erika Kirk and Charlie Kirk's parents were present in the courtroom.

Defense attorneys raised multiple objections during the playing of Twiggs' recorded statement, though the judge allowed the evidence to proceed. Twiggs was granted use immunity for his cooperation with investigators.

Thursday's session continued a pattern from earlier days of the hearing, which has included surveillance video placing Robinson on the UVU campus and the rooftop from which prosecutors allege the fatal shot was fired, as well as forensic testimony on DNA recovered from items near the scene.

The hearing is expected to wrap up as early as Friday, after which Graf will decide whether to bind Robinson over for trial. If the case proceeds, it would move toward a capital trial in Utah County.

Unanswered Questions

The official story leaves a lot of unanswered questions that will never be aired in court.

• Lapel mic bomb / exploding lavalier microphone / shrapnel from device in mic (not a bullet): Close-up video footage of the moment Kirk is hit contains what has been described as an "explosion," flash, or disruption at his chest/lapel area; mic allegedly shattered in the SUV afterward; wound trajectory allegedly inconsistent with a distant sniper shot and instead from a device on or in the mic. Some tie it to "exploding pagers" precedent or call it a targeted device.

• Trap door / shot from below the stage/tent: Some have suggested a "trap door" is visible or implied in footage/crime scene photos under or near where Kirk was speaking; claim the shot originated from below rather than the roof; some say the area was quickly covered/filled in. Owens urged government investigation into this.
• Drones / multiple drones or UFOs involved in the hit or surveillance: Videos showing "unknown flying objects" or small aerial devices in the sky claim up to three different drones visible; suggest drone-assisted assassination, coordination, or cover. Prominently pushed by Crowdsource the Truth (Jason Goodman) in X posts and streams, including clips shared in Ben Swann threads.
• Bullet caliber / ballistics mismatch or wrong weapon: Robinson's attorneys noted in March that they had received an ATF summary report with an unexpected finding. "Regarding the firearm evidence, the defense has been provided with an ATF summary report which indicates that the ATF was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. Authorities recovered an old German bolt-action Mauser Model 98 .30-06 caliber rifle used in both World Wars from a forested area near the shooting site - which, according to many, would have popped Kirk's entire head like a watermelon. 

• Pissing off Israel / Mossad or Israeli government hit: In the weeks leading up to his death, Kirk had become increasingly critical of Israel, and prominent Zionists had been 'clapping back' to to speak (Gaza handling, hosting critics like Tucker Carlson, comments linking Epstein to Mossad/Israeli intelligence). According to leaked/private WhatsApp/group texts - Kirk claimed the loss of major Jewish donor(s) (~$2M annual), pressure to stay pro-Israel or condemn critics, and top donors reportedly demanded name removed from building or pulled funding days/weeks before.

Trump Admin Targets Medicare Fraud After 7,100% Surge In Transplant Claims

Via American Greatness,

The Trump administration says it has uncovered a dramatic increase in Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants, resulting in a broad crackdown on suspected fraud that officials say has already blocked hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable payments.

Administration officials said Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants, known as allografts, climbed from $200 million in 2019 to $14.4 billion in 2025—a 7,100 percent increase.

The surge led the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, headed by Vice President JD Vance, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to intensify their review of claims. Since March, the agency has denied 96 percent of allograft claims identified during the review.

CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz said the agency identified 4,200 potentially fraudulent allograft claims totaling $224 million through May.

“That’s a lot of money,” Oz said during a Wednesday news conference in Milwaukee.

“And that bankrupts not just hospital systems and physician groups, but it causes major problems across the entire landscape.”

The agency also announced enforcement actions involving Durable Medical Equipment (DME) including wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds and other medical equipment.

According to CMS, payments have been suspended to 102 suppliers, while billing privileges have been revoked for another 725 suppliers. The agency said those suppliers accounted for 8.6 percent of all Medicare-funded DME in 2025.

CMS officials reported they identified suspected fraud involving claims for equipment that was not medically necessary or ordered, equipment that was more expensive than prescribed, and equipment that was never delivered.

“In just six months, the task force has effectively wiped out Durable Medical Equipment fraud in America,” a spokesperson for Vance’s office said.

“After the vice president and Dr. Oz announced a moratorium on new DME companies, paired with aggressive enforcement actions by DOJ and HHS, this kind of fraud has effectively ended.”

Oz said the administration’s efforts have already prevented significant losses.

“Thanks to the whole-of-government approach spearheaded by the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, we stopped nearly $220 million in fraudulent skin substitute claims and suspended or revoked billing privileges for over 800 DME suppliers,” Oz told Fox News Digital. “We are keeping our promise to the American people: we will root out corruption, protect vulnerable patients, and hold every bad actor accountable.”

Oz also warned those engaged in health care fraud that the administration intends to continue its enforcement campaign.

“To anyone out there, and I’m talking to you if you’re a fraudster, for anyone out there who thinks they can get away by stealing from the American people, especially American patients, I’ve got a bit of advice for you: Do not walk away from this press conference. Don’t walk away from us. You start running because the vice president and this task force are coming after you,” Oz said.
