In an interview with Brian Entin on NewsNation Live,the family member said Twiggs had to be brought in by police for questioning,only turned over items when asked,and did not voluntarily offer details. She said Twiggs and his family lay low after receiving threats and briefly had FBI protection, though they are reportedly no longer under detail. The report notes an alleged text from Robinson to Twiggs saying, &#8220;I had enough of his hatred\u2026 Some hate can&#8217;t be negotiated out,&#8221; and cites Utah County officials saying Robinson&#8217;s parents told investigators he had grown more pro-LGBTQ in the period before the killing. The piece references additional reporting (including the New York Post) about Twiggs&#8217;s whereabouts and mentions that investigators and media have considered theories about possible involvement by others.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A female family member of the self-described transgender boyfriend of Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson gave an interview to NewsNation that aired on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Lance Twiggs is a male and was dating Robinson at the time of Kirk&rsquo;s Sept. 10 assassination at Utah Valley University. The family member discussed several topics with NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin and asserted she was completely certain that Robinson was Kirk&rsquo;s assassin during a segment that aired on &ldquo;NewsNation Live With Nichole Berlie.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Will he still cooperate with the investigation, from what you know?&rdquo; Entin asked.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, I don&rsquo;t know. You know, when I first found out about how he was taken in and talked to by the police&hellip; I know that they said that he was very cooperative, but they had to go get him and bring him in,&rdquo; the family responded. &ldquo;He didn&rsquo;t voluntarily go in and say, &lsquo;Hey, I heard about this and I have some knowledge.&rsquo; You know, he had to go in&hellip; he handed things over when they asked for them, but&hellip; he didn&rsquo;t give up any information until he had to.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Entin noted there were numerous theories about others besides Robinson being involved in Kirk&rsquo;s assassination.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;How confident are you that police have the right guy, Tyler Robinson?&rdquo; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;100%,&rdquo; she responded. &ldquo;They have the right guy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Twiggs apparently disappeared from his hometown of St. George, Utah, and seemed to be keeping a low profile, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/10\/28\/us-news\/location-of-tyler-robinsons-lover-still-undisclosed-as-family-lay-low-months-after-charlie-kirk-slaying\/\" data-mrf-link=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/10\/28\/us-news\/location-of-tyler-robinsons-lover-still-undisclosed-as-family-lay-low-months-after-charlie-kirk-slaying\/\">reported<\/a> on Oct. 28.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My understanding was for the first few weeks, because there were so many threats against his family and him&hellip; my understanding is they did have a little bit of FBI detail and they kind of moved around a little bit,&rdquo; the family member told Entin. &ldquo;But they&rsquo;re not anymore.
