Donald Trump Jr. said Thursday that unsealed evidence from the preliminary hearing in Charlie Kirk’s murder case puts to rest “conspiracy theories” surrounding his death.

Trump Jr., a longtime friend of Kirk, was in the courtroom in Provo, Utah, this week, hearing arguments and viewing unsealed evidence against Kirk’s accused killer, Tyler Robinson.

“Based on everything that I saw in that courtroom, it’s very clear to me that Tyler Robinson did this,” he said on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

His preliminary hearing began Monday, with prosecutors attempting to establish probable cause to allow the case to proceed to trial on a series of charges.

Robinson allegedly admitted to killing Kirk in unsealed text messages to his roommate after the shooting, saying he “had enough of his hatred,” according to testimony from Thursday’s hearing.

Trump Jr., a regular speaker at Turning Point USA events, questioned the lack of security presence at Kirk’s Utah Valley University event.

“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. added that TPUSA college campus events usually draw a heavier law enforcement presence, noting they attract “thousands” of people.

“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.”

Trump Jr. argued that questions surrounding Kirk’s death had once been a “50–50” issue, but said the unsealed evidence has shifted public sentiment to “90–10,” adding that most believe Robinson is guilty.
