Trump says several people are ‘already under major investigation’
Amid Kirk's murder investigation, Trump has stated that “a lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left” are “already under major investigation.”
Speaking to reporters at a New Jersey airfield on Sunday night, he reiterated his earlier accusations that leftist rhetoric contributed to the animosity that resulted in his friend's murder, stating that “The problem is on the left - it's not on the right as some people like to say.”

“And when you look at the agitators, you look at the scum that speak so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that's the left, that's not the right,” he added.
However, Utah Governor Spencer Cox stated on Sunday that the suspect is not assisting law enforcement in their efforts to determine the reason for the horrific killing.
Speaking to ABC News, he said, “He has not confessed to authorities. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating.”

During an appearance on Meet the Press on NBC, he stated that while Robinson's family was conservative, “his ideology was very different than his family.”
