"The defense's only real tactic was seemingly to either stall or try to not admit essentially any evidence whatsoever."

Speaking with Fox News on Wednesday morning ahead of day 3 of the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, Donald Trump Jr laid out the "very strong" case the prosecution has laid out in the hearing so far.

Trump Jr agreed with host Bill Hemmer, who said "the evidence is overwhelming," with Trump Jr adding that the prosecution’s case has sounded "very strong" so far, while the defense has sounded "weak."

"The defense's only real tactic was seemingly to either stall or try to not admit essentially any evidence whatsoever, because I guess it would be too damning to their client. It was truly crazy."

He recounted video that was shown in court showing a person believed to be Robinson moving throughout Utah Valley University’s campus on the day of the shooting. "But you see the video, you know, this is someone who lived four and a half hours south, who importantly, and most people didn't know this, was not a student at Utah Valley University. He came up four and a half hours away."

He said authorities were able to track Robinson’s vehicle through the "very distinct rims" that the Dodge Challenger had, and that Robinson had been seen interacting with people from Turning Point USA who had been on campus ahead of time "apparently asking them, you know, you know what was happening here, who were the speakers, what was the timing, whatever that may have been, it seems."

"He then leaves, but he's wearing shorts and a T-shirt. He comes back wearing long pants with a limp that magically somehow developed, is seen on video going up to this rooftop, which was the perfect vantage point to make this shot, then jumps off the building, carrying a long object that looked like the shape of a gun, according to one of the witnesses, wrapped up in something, and there was a screwdriver left, which to me, you know, leads me to believe that he walked up there with a limp, had disassembled the gun, you know, put both the stock and the barreled action, I guess, down his pants, walked up there, put the gun together, that takes 30 seconds, made his shots," Trump Jr continued. 

"They saw evidence of the indents of where you know there would have been a sniper's hide, the indents from his knees and elbows where he would have lain prone to make this shot. The shot happens, and within seconds he's seen, the limp has disappeared, and he's seen, you know, jumping off the building and running into the nearby woods. 

"Then there's Ring cam footage of him pulling up again in this very distinct car at 12:30 am again on a university campus that he does not go to, lives four hours away. To me, that seems like he's there to retrieve the weapon that was stashed earlier in the day. 

"Other minor details, like he turned himself in, and these kinds of things, but it's just been very tough to watch the most. I haven't, frankly, opined, and I've taken a lot of heat from people, because I haven't opined on a lot of the stuff that's been out there, because I didn't know that any of it had any basis in fact. But once this hard evidence was laid out to me in a courtroom, before my very eyes, at seeing the reaction of the defense. This thing is much more cut and dry than I would have ever even imagined."

Trump Jr also spoke on Erika Kirk’s attendance at the hearing, saying "she was doing as well as she can be under the circumstances." 

"She was obviously very grateful that Bettina and I were there to support her. Obviously, I've been friends with her as long as she's known Charlie, and she's just a great person, a mother trying to get by, trying to fulfill her husband's legacy," he said.

Trump Jr added that there is "frustration" surrounding the shooting. "There's obviously a lot of sadness in all of this. I think there's a lot of frustration, frankly, that this could have ever happened. I mean, one of the things I did hear that was sort of shocking was that there were only six officers on duty, you know, on this campus event, no briefing beforehand, no real set game plan, and six officers for a Turning Point event, and anyone who's watched the news in the last decade or so would realize there'd be thousands of people on this campus."

"I think she just wants justice, she's doing an incredible job just holding it together, given the circumstances and the sheer brutality of how this all happened, and frankly, some of the sheer noise that has come after her and attacked her and the organization, and all of that."

He added, "I haven't been that vocal, because I haven't known what's real and what's not, but having literally been there in the room, seen the evidence with my own eyes, you know. It's very clear to me that Tyler Robinson will be found guilty."
