WASHINGTON: The man arrested over conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassination was romantically involved with a transgender roommate and had “leftist ideology,” Utah’s governor said Sunday, confirming details likely to inflame the contentious national debate over the killing. “Yes I can confirm that,” Governor Spencer Cox told CNN’s “State of the Union” talk show when asked about suspect Tyler Robinson’s reported relationship with a trans partner. “The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to a female,” Cox said.

‘Somebody that was very close to him said, that’s him,’ said US President Donald Trump.
