FBI Seized Clothing From Charlie's Security Team

On July 30, 2026, Candace Owens said on her show that she had been told the FBI took the clothing of certain members of Charlie Kirk's security detail after September 10, 2025 — in her words, "down to their boxer briefs." The segment was clipped and posted the same night by @ProjectConstitu, which reached roughly 25,600 views, 862 likes and 194 reposts within hours.

The claim is secondhand and unverified. No agency has confirmed it, and Owens herself does not name a source. It is documented here because, if accurate, it bears on a specific forensic question: whether the clothing worn by the people closest to Kirk in the minutes after the shot was ever tested for explosive residue — see Removing Explosive Residue Cover-Up.

‼️EXPOSED: Witness Reveals The FBI SEIZED All Clothing From Charlie's SECURITY Team — Down To Their Boxer Briefs. 👀

Candace Owens just dropped another major detail from her ongoing investigation.

According to information she received, the FBI took the clothing from certain members of Charlie's security detail — all the way down to their boxer briefs. This comes after months of unanswered questions about why Frank Turek and others ended up in hospital scrubs, the conflicting accounts of who actually performed CPR in the vehicle, and how blood ended up on specific people.

In a normal investigation, seizing clothing would be standard evidence collection. Candace pointed out this was not a normal situation. The same federal authorities who moved quickly to have the vehicle towed, cleaned, and prepared for resale are the ones who stripped the security team of their clothes. She raised the possibility that the clothing was not preserved for testing but removed to eliminate potential evidence.

Only Tyler Robinson's defense team is in a position to force disclosure of what actually happened to those items. Until then, the public is left with yet another unexplained action by the same agencies that have controlled the narrative from the start.

The account posting the clip states in its own bio that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Turning Point USA. The framing above — "stripped the security team of their clothes," "removed to eliminate potential evidence" — is the poster's characterization, and is more assertive than what Owens says in the clip itself. Her own wording is quoted below.

Transcript of the clip​

Transcribed from the 4:09 video. The source clip repeats one passage — the repetition is an artifact of the clip, and the duplicated lines are shown once here. Speaker is Candace Owens throughout.

Remember how Frank Turek described them receiving scrubs from the hospital? And I've always found that to be remarkably suspicious. You don't just get surgical scrubs at an ER because you're covered in blood. Still, by the way, nobody knows why or how he got that blood on him — because if Brian Harpole is to be believed, he was doing all of the work while Rick Cutler was holding him while Frank was praying in the back.

So we asked the question, how could these stories be so different, where Frank says he did CPR and Brian says he didn't? Did Frank just write himself into the story because he needed to explain why he took off all of his clothes to the hospital and was wearing scrubs? Because it would be pretty weird if you did that, if you were not, in fact, covered in blood. There'd have to be another reason that you did that.

Like I said, Brian doesn't recall Frank doing CPR. Frank says Brian was distracted and just didn't realize what he had done for the last 30 seconds — he just got distracted on this remarkably short car ride and didn't see him lay Charlie down flat and start doing mouth-to-mouth CPR.

Okay. But I'd wondered — we had all sort of wondered aloud — what exactly happened to their clothes then, right? ... What happened to the clothes? Well, I will say Frank Turek's name was not explicitly mentioned, but, uh, I did hear that the feds, the FBI, took the clothes from certain members of Charlie's security team, down to their boxer briefs. Took their clothes. Down to their boxer briefs, the FBI took their clothing.

So how are we to digest that? Well, in a normal scenario, we would think, oh, great — they obviously did that in effort to collect evidence. That's what they should be doing: bagging the clothing and sending it to be stored for further examination, or in case it comes up, maybe further testing, maybe it'll come up throughout the course of the court cases.

But this is not a normal situation. These feds were not doing anything normal, right? We know this because we learned that the feds immediately had the car towed, sent away, wanted it cleaned and resold. ... So I don't think that they said get rid of the car, but let's keep Brian Harpole's or Rick Cutler's boxers for evidence. In my mind, they likely took their clothes and had them destroyed. That's in my mind. I don't know that for certain. It's an unknowable thing — unless you are Tyler Robinson's defense team, and you can demand access to that sort of information, which I would if I was on Tyler Robinson's defense. Down to the boxers. The feds took it.

You see, I'm a person who actually — just to be clear, so that I'm on record — I want the judge to come back in September and say that there is enough evidence to move the case forward, that the influencers were convincing. Me and Turning Point in that regard, we're kind of rooting for the same thing, but for different reasons. I personally just want to see how long they can keep this farce going. I want more information to become available to the public. ... I want the story to become increasingly more cartoonish, for the influencers to become more radical — because I think it's needed for the world to awaken to what exactly it is that rules over us.

The named individuals​

Three living people are named in the clip. None of them is accused of a crime here, and nothing on this page is a finding of fact about any of them.

  • Frank Turek — Christian apologist and a Kirk mentor who was in the SUV. Owens characterizes his scrubs account as "remarkably suspicious" and asks whether he "wrote himself into the story." That is her speculation, phrased as a question, not an established fact. Turek has publicly given his own account of the day and has publicly refuted conspiracy claims alleging TPUSA involvement — see his profile page. Receiving scrubs after being covered in blood has an obvious innocent explanation.
  • Brian Harpole — founder of Integrity Security Solutions, present in the vehicle. The clip reports his account as differing from Turek's on who performed CPR. Two people recalling a chaotic ninety seconds differently is ordinary, not evidence of deception.
  • Rick Cutler — described in the clip as holding Kirk in the vehicle. No agency has named him a person of interest and no criminal involvement is asserted.

The conflicting-CPR-account question is documented separately and in more detail on the SUV transport and Security Team pages.

Why this matters to the residue question​

If the clothing was seized and preserved, it is the single best surviving surface for an explosive-residue test. Anyone performing chest compressions on Kirk in the back of the SUV had their hands, forearms, and shirt front in direct contact with the wound area within a minute or two of the shot. Post-blast residue transfers readily to fabric and survives for extended periods on stored items.

That gives the seizure a testable consequence:

  • If the clothing was bagged and tested, a result exists. Releasing a negative result would end the exploding-mic theory outright — which is why its absence is what investigators keep pointing at.
  • If the clothing was bagged and never tested, that is a documented decision not to run a standard forensic examination — the same category as the items on the Forensic Tests Skipped page.
  • If the clothing was destroyed, the test can never be run. Owens raises this possibility and immediately labels it as her own belief that she cannot verify.

Only the first of those three has been ruled out by any public document — and in fact none of them has. No evidence inventory, lab request, or residue result for any clothing item has been made public.

Ordinary explanations​

The benign reading is straightforward and should be stated plainly:

  • Seizing clothing is textbook procedure. In any homicide, investigators collect the clothing of everyone who had physical contact with the victim. Blood, transfer patterns, and trace evidence all live on those garments. Taking undergarments as well is not unusual when a person's clothing is saturated.
  • Scrubs are the normal replacement. A hospital hands out scrubs precisely because the people involved now have nothing to wear. That sequence — clothing collected, scrubs issued — is what you would expect to see whether or not anything else happened.
  • Non-disclosure is also normal. Evidence inventories in a pending capital case are typically not public. The absence of a released test result is not, by itself, proof that no test was run.

What has not been established​

  • No agency has confirmed the seizure. The claim is secondhand and the source is not identified.
  • No wrongdoing by the FBI, by any of its employees, by any member of Charlie Kirk's security detail, or by TPUSA is established by this clip.
  • Owens does not claim to know what happened to the items; she says explicitly that it is "an unknowable thing" absent disclosure.
  • The official cause of death remains a rifle gunshot wound. This page documents an open forensic question, not a competing conclusion.

Open questions​

  1. Does the criminal discovery file in State of Utah v. Tyler Alexander Robinson list seized clothing items on its evidence inventory?
  2. Was any seized item submitted for explosive-residue or gunshot-residue analysis, and does a lab report exist?
  3. Which agency took custody — the FBI, Utah County, or UVU police — and under what evidence number?
  4. Has Tyler Robinson's defense team requested this inventory, and has the request been answered?
  5. Would the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws as drafted compel disclosure of the full evidence inventory, including items later released or destroyed?

Elsewhere In The Investigation​

Security Team Clothing Seized

Candace Owens reports being told the FBI took the security detail's clothing down to their underwear — which would explain the hospital scrubs. Bagging boxer briefs is textbook evidence collection; releasing the transport vehicle is not.
