Trump: Minister, Father, and Top U.S. Marshal Helped Bring In Suspect

NEW YORK, September 12, 2025 — President Donald Trump spoke forcefully on Fox & Friends this morning, confirming that the suspect believed to be responsible for Charlie Kirk’s murder is now in custody — and declaring that the death penalty is the only just outcome.

Trump credited teamwork across law enforcement and faith leaders, highlighting how a minister — also connected to law enforcement — alerted a close friend who was a top U.S. Marshal. Together, they coordinated with the suspect’s father, who convinced his son to turn himself in by driving into police headquarters. “The facts are the facts. We have the person that we think is the person we’re looking for,” Trump said.

When asked about the case, Trump made clear: “I hope he’s found guilty, I would imagine. And I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person. He didn’t deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him.”

Trump praised Pam Bondi as “incredible” for her behind-the-scenes work and noted how the loss has unified the nation across political lines. He cited the firing of MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd, moments of silence at both Yankee Stadium and the Washington Commanders game, and a broader recognition that Kirk’s murder transcends politics. “Even the left is having a hard time,” Trump observed.

Calling Kirk “a brilliant guy” who began his activism more than a decade ago, Trump described him as family: “For me, it’s almost like a family member… sort of like a son.”
