David Engelhardt
:::caution Legal Disclaimer Nothing on this page constitutes a finding of wrongdoing, criminal conduct, ethical violation, or participation in any crime by David Engelhardt or any other living person.

Allegations referenced here are unproven and have not been established in any court. :::
David Engelhardt is named in investigation material as one of the reported members of the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) board of directors as it stood before September 10, 2025. His inclusion reflects that governance role and does not carry any allegation of wrongdoing.
Connection to the Charlie Kirk Case
According to compiled reporting on the Charlie Kirk investigation site, TPUSA's board of directors prior to September 10 reportedly included Doug DeGroote, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, David Engelhardt, Mike Miller, and Tom Sodeika. Because much of the post-September 10 commentary concerns questions about TPUSA governance and succession, board members of that period are catalogued for completeness. The site notes that these succession questions are debates and open questions, not adjudicated findings, and nothing here suggests Engelhardt acted improperly.
Reported Claims (Unverified)
- Engelhardt is listed among the reported pre-September 10 TPUSA board members in compiled research and in a memorial/succession summary table.
- His specific role, tenure, and involvement in any post-September 10 governance decisions have not been independently verified against primary corporate records.
Open Questions
- What was Engelhardt's actual role on the TPUSA board and in any governance decisions after September 10, 2025?

Citizen Investigator Claims and Public Commentary
(The following are attributed claims and file notes — not findings of criminal guilt.)
Reported Pre-9/10 TPUSA Board Member
Engelhardt is reported among TPUSA board members before September 10 (alongside Doug DeGroote, Charlie and Erika Kirk, Mike Miller, Tom Sodeika in some lists). Board composition matters for succession and governance questions after the assassination — not for imputing criminal conspiracy to board members without proof.
