FBI Director Kash Patel said Tuesday that the bureau is investigating more than 20 people connected to an online Discord chat with Charlie Kirk murder suspect Tyler Robinson, confirming the chat’s existence, which had been leaked, and that it is now part of an active federal investigation.

Patel made the disclosure during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in response to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) , who pressed the FBI chief about efforts to identify others who may have encouraged or known in advance about the attack on Kirk during a Utah Valley University event.
