Trump said he had been given an indication of the killer’s motivation but did not share further details.
“He’s an animal, total animal, and hopefully they’ll have him, and they’ll get him.
“What he did is disgraceful.
“Charlie Kirk was a great person, a great man, great in every way, especially with youth. And what he did, what this man did, was disgraceful. So hopefully we’ll have him, and we will deal with him very appropriately.”
