TUNED IN: Patel comments on Charlotte train stabbing: ‘from day one’

5

FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI has been investigating the murder of Iryna Zarutska “from day one.”

Patel didn’t immediately provide any details, but the investigation may be related to the judges who released Zarutska’s murderer, Decarlos Brown Jr., a schizophrenic homeless man who had been arrested and released 14 previous times.

Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered in Charlotte, North Carolina, last month, but her fatal stabbing came to widespread attention on Friday after the Charlotte Area Transit System released footage of the attack. After right-wing commentators decried a perceived lack of attention to the matter, Patel said on Monday that the FBI had been investigating the matter from the start.

“The FBI has been investigating the Charlotte train murder from day one,” Patel said. “Stay tuned.”

Trump has commented on Zarutska’s murder multiple times, starting after a reporter asked about the matter, bringing the young refugee’s plight to his attention. Trump later mentioned her while addressing the White House Religious Liberty Commission at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. on Monday, sending his “love and hope” to Zarutska’s family.

He later slammed the senseless crime in a post to Truth Social, blaming, in part, “Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail, including Former Disgraced Governor and ‘Wannabe Senator’ Roy Cooper.”

Patel’s comment comes amid criticism that Democrats and the mainstream media have been silent about the heinous crime committed in such a public space.

Fox News notes that Transportation Secretary Duffy has announced “a separate probe into the transit system’s failure to protect the Ukrainian refugee, warning of national implications.”
