Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Kelly O'Donnell, and we begin with breaking news,

traumatic new details from prosecutors in Utah as Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin is now facing the death penalty.

Utah authorities formally charging the 22-year-old suspect, Tyler Robinson, with aggravated

murder. As President Trump and his team are vowing action, signaling a major crackdown on left-wing

organizations that they claim are encouraging political

violence. Robinson is due to make a court appearance for the first time in less than an hour from now

after prosecutors this afternoon released a trove of evidence tied to his alleged murder plot

and his potential motives, including a detailed conversation with his

roommate that contained an apparent confession. Robinson is charged with seven total counts,

including aggravated murder, as well as felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of

justice, among others. Utah County attorney, Jeff Gray, whose office is handling

this case, read from the charging documents detailing new information about Robinson's potential

motivations. Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more

political and had started to lean more to the left,

becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented.

She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders. This resulted in several discussions with family members,

but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views. In one

conversation before the shooting, Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU,

which Robinson said was a stupid venue for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate.

As mentioned, prosecutors also detailed text messages between Robinson and his roommate that were sent in the hours immediately following the shooting.

Roommate, you weren't the one who did it, right?

Robinson, I am, I am, I'm sorry. Roommate, why?
