FBI Director Kash Patel said he has no regrets about the bungled social media messages he posted while overseeing the investigation into the killing of Charlie Kirk.
The former podcaster has faced fierce criticism for posts he made the day of the shooting amid reports he was dining at a high-end Italian restaurant in New York City at the time.
On Wednesday evening, Patel posted on X that “the subject” in Kirk’s killing was “in custody.”
The post has more than 38 million views on the social media site.
But Patel’s declaration ran contrary to a statement by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R), who told a press conference minutes later only that a “person of interest” had been taken into custody.
