Right-wing political commentator Candace Owens has taken it upon herself to 'investigate' the assassination of Charlie Kirk, claiming she has 'evidence' that will 'change everything'.
The 36-year-old podcaster took to social media yesterday (17 November) to cryptically announce that 'nothing will be the same' after she says her piece.
Owens wrote on Twitter: "Today is going to be a big day. What we will present in the Charlie Kirk investigation is going to change everything. That is not an exaggeration. Nothing will be the same."
Then, when she posted her latest podcast episode, she added: "Today on the show, we GO MAX. We find irrefutable proof that Turning Point knows more than they are telling us. Charlie was right. He knew I would be the one to defend him after death."

This is not especially new as ever since 31-year-old conservative activist Kirk was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in September, Owens has been spreading a slew of rumours and conspiracy theories about his death.
A week after Kirk's death, his pastor actually spoke out against Owens and her theories.
As per The Independent, Rob McCoy, who co-chairs the faith division of Turning Point USA, said that Kirk 'was a friend to Candace and never spoke poorly of her though he disagreed with her' and 'he never operated nor entertained gossip or innuendo concerning Candace'.
The pastor brutally added: "I only wish at this tragic time of mourning she would be the friend to Charlie that he was to her. He would never have treated Candace or her family in such a way had God forbid this tragedy been hers."
However, Owens has continued to conduct her own 'investigation' into the death, despite authorities authorities naming 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspected shooter.
After a manhunt by police, Robinson was charged with aggravated murder, as well as six other charges, including obstruction of justice and witness tampering and will make his first in-person court appearance in January.
But it seems he's not the focus of Owens's attention, who has since intensified her claims onto some Egyptian aircrafts.
As reported by The Economic Times, she has now bizarrely alleged that Egyptian surveillance aircrafts were involved and claimed that Egyptian planes had 'tracked' Kirk’s wife, Erika, nearly 70 times in recent years.
"Why did they keep going back to Erika?" Owens asked. "What is it about these Egyptian planes that was making them spiral?"
The political commentator is convinced that foreign hands played a role in Kirk’s assassination.
Owens claimed that the flights appeared to target Erika rather than Owens, before also alleging records show that four rental cars were assigned to passengers from the Egyptian aircraft.
She shared the vehicles’ make, model, and license plates and urged UVU students and nearby residents to review their phone or camera photos for a sighting of the cars.
Reacting to the latest wild claims, one Instagram user penned: "Candace Owens should stop with this nothing will bring Charlie back let him rest in peace for gods sake."
While a second agreed: "I can’t believe people are falling for this manipulation. So sad."
A third penned: "Can the man rest in peace."
Tyla has contacted Turning Point USA for comment.
