President Donald Trump announced that a suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination has been taken into custody.

The president sat down Friday morning with "Fox & Friends," where he disclosed that the suspected gunman who killed the right-wing influencer had been identified and arrested.

"Can I always say, I think, just to protect us all and so Fox doesn't get sued and we all don't get sued and everything else, but I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody," Trump told the hosts.

The FBI is scheduled to hold a news conference at 9 a.m. where officials will presumably offer more information about the suspect and the arrest.

Trump also said an individual very close to the suspect turned him in after officials released photos from surveillance videos recorded at Utah Valley University.
