Donald Trump Jr. said Thursday that newly unsealed evidence presented during the preliminary hearing for the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk leaves little room for doubt about who carried out the killing, arguing that the disclosures should put lingering conspiracy theories to rest.

Trump Jr., who was a close friend of Kirk and has long appeared alongside him at Turning Point USA events, attended this week’s court proceedings in Provo, Utah, where prosecutors unveiled evidence against 23-year-old Tyler Robinson.

After observing the testimony firsthand, Trump Jr. told Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” “Based on everything that I saw in that courtroom, it’s very clear to me that Tyler Robinson did this.”

Robinson is charged with fatally shooting Kirk, 31, during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

The preliminary hearing, which began Monday, is intended to determine whether prosecutors have established sufficient probable cause for the case to proceed to trial on multiple criminal charges.

During Thursday’s proceedings, prosecutors introduced evidence alleging that Robinson admitted to the killing in text messages sent to his roommate shortly after the shooting, writing that he “had enough of his hatred.”

Reacting to the evidence, Trump Jr. said, “This stuff is very cut-and-dry at this point.”

He added, “The DNA evidence, the fact that… he turned himself in… to me, it puts so much of this at rest.”

While expressing confidence in the prosecution’s case, Trump Jr. raised concerns about the level of security provided at the Utah Valley University event where Kirk was killed.

“The biggest question in my mind at this point is not whether Tyler Robinson did this, or if it was some people from a foreign land, or another planet — it was, why were there only six police officers active at a major event on a university campus?” he asked.

Trump Jr. noted that Turning Point USA events on college campuses routinely attract large crowds and typically receive a much stronger law enforcement presence.

“These are big events,” he said. “I’ve done 100 of them with Charlie Kirk on college campuses all over the place… That there wasn’t an all-hands-on-deck kind of operation to prevent this very thing from happening is truly scary.”

He also said public opinion has shifted dramatically as more evidence has emerged. According to Trump Jr., what was once viewed as a “50–50” question regarding Robinson’s guilt has now become a “90–10” issue, with the overwhelming majority believing Robinson was responsible.

Although Trump Jr. dismissed the conspiracy theories that circulated following Kirk’s death, he said he understands why some people initially questioned the circumstances surrounding the assassination.

Prosecutors are expected to continue presenting evidence during Friday’s hearing. No trial date has yet been scheduled.
