A new twist in the Charlie Kirk case: why is a judge releasing hearing records in the Turning Point USA shooting, and what it means for Tyler Robinson

A federal judge in Utah has greenlit the public release of redacted transcripts and audio from a sealed hearing in the high-profile shooting case involving Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The ruling came Monday in Salt Lake City, marking a major step toward transparency in the September 2025 incident that shocked conservative circles. Tyler Robinson, 28, stands accused of firing shots at Kirk from a rooftop during a Turning Point USA campus event at the University of Utah.
