Former FBI deputy director, Chris Swecker, joined “Varney & Co.” To break the arrest of the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk, which investigators are looking for and why federal proceedings could advance the case faster.
The FBI reward for information leading to the capture of the suspect who murdered Charlie Kirk was stimulated by offers of private donations.
In the middle of the manhunt for Kirk’s Killer, the FBI announced on Thursday a reward of $ 100,000 for information leading to the apprehension of the assassin, ordering potential respondents to contact the FBI tip line and to submit all the photos or videos to a website for the shooting.

Bruesewitz declared during an appearance Thursday on Fox News’ “History” that it would add $ 25,000 to the FBI award to increase the total to $ 150,000.

“He would never hurt anyone. It breaks my heart that it was he who was injured,” said Bruesewitz. “He only wanted conversations with people. He only wanted to debate people. He did not use violence. He did not use violent rhetoric. He just told the truth.”
