Significant progress has been made in the hunt for the killer of conservative American politician Charlie Kirk, according to US President Donald Trump.
"They're making big progress," Trump told reporters when asked about the investigation.
"I have an indication ... but we'll let you know about that later," the president said about possible motives of the assassination.
A manhunt is still underway for the person who shot and killed conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, more than a day after this shooting terrified the US.

The FBI has released a new video of a "person of interest" in the killing of Charlie Kirk, while Utah officials published additional images of the suspected assailant. The footage shows the suspected killer, dressed entirely in black, descending from the roof of a building at Utah Valley University—the believed location from which he shot Kirk.

Analysis
Was Charlie Kirk's Killer a Pro?
Over 7,000 leads and tips have been submitted by the public so far, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said. However, officials have “no idea” whether the suspected assailant is still in the state, Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason admitted.
The state of Utah will seek the death penalty for Kirk's murder, according to local officials.
The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for any information leading to the identification and arrest of those involved in Kirk's assassination.
The conservative activist's body was flown from Utah to Arizona, accompanied by US Vice-President JD Vance onboard Air Force Two.
