Biden Admin Focused Charlie Kirk, Had FBI Examine Kirk to “Intimidate Him”
The Biden administration unleashed the full force of the Justice Department and FBI against conservative speaker Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA organization in a brazen bid to silence a leading voice for pro-life conservative values.
That’s according to explosive revelations from President Donald Trump and Sen. Josh Hawley that expose the depths of government weaponization against pro-life and pro-freedom activists.
The chilling campaign of intimidation came to light amid revelations that the FBI subpoenaed 92 Republican-affiliated groups, including Turning Point USA, as part of its 2022 “Arctic Frost” election probe — an investigation later handed off to Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Trump, speaking out forcefully on the injustice, decried the assault on Kirk as part of a broader pattern of political persecution.
“Why was the wonderful Turning Point under INVESTIGATION by ‘Deranged’ Jack Smith and the Corrupt & Incompetent Biden Administration,” Trump demanded.
He further blasted the administration, declaring, “They Weaponized the Justice Department against Sleepy Joe Biden’s Political Opponents, including ME!”
Hawley, R-Mo., who had spoken with Kirk shortly before his tragic assassination on September 10 in Orem, Utah, pulled no punches in labeling the probe a textbook case of federal overreach aimed at crushing dissent.
“This has got to be what he was talking about. And now we know that Joe Biden once again weaponized the FBI to go after his political opponents,” Hawley stated, confirming Kirk’s own conviction that his group was in the crosshairs.

The senator described the tactics as “nothing but terrorism. It’s an attempt to silence and intimidate. I’m so glad that Charlie was not intimidated right up to the last day that he had on this Earth. That is why he is such a sterling example.”
The disclosures, bolstered by files released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, paint a damning picture of an administration that viewed Kirk — a tireless defender of unborn babies, parental rights, and American exceptionalism — as a threat too potent to ignore.
By siccing the FBI on Turning Point USA, Biden’s enforcers sought to cripple the organization’s grassroots mobilization of young conservatives, who have rallied against the radical left’s assault on family and faith.
Even in death, Kirk’s unyielding spirit endures, inspiring a flood of over 37,000 new chapter requests for Turning Point USA after an emotional appeal from his widow, Erika Kirk.
Yet the senator warned that such abuses cannot be tolerated.
“What Joe Biden did in his administration, we can’t ever allow to happen again. You look at the climate they created,” Hawley urged, calling for accountability to safeguard free speech and the pro-life movement from future vendettas.
As America grapples with the loss of a patriot who refused to bow, these revelations serve as a stark reminder: The fight for life and liberty demands vigilance against those who wield power as a weapon against the innocent and the outspoken.
