Prosecutors said that Twiggs was given “use-immunity” for the statement he gave to attorneys on April 20.
Prosecutors said that Twiggs was given “use-immunity” for the statement he gave to attorneys on April 20.

A new court filing has revealed that Lance Twiggs, the transgender lover of suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, has been given limited immunity for a recorded statement given to prosecutors. Prosecutors said that they intend to present Twiggs' recorded statement, as well as photographs of messages allegedly from Robinson that were found on Twiggs' phone.
Prosecutors said that Twiggs was given "use-immunity" for the statement he gave to attorneys on April 20. "On April 20, 2026, in preparation for the preliminary hearing, Mr. Twiggs gave a recorded statement under oath and after an admonition that any false statement would be punishable by law and could be charged as obstruction of justice. Mr. Twiggs was also given use-immunity by the United States Attorney’s Office and the Utah County Attorney’s Office—meaning that his statements at that April 20 meeting could not be used against him," the document stated.
Prosecutors said that Twiggs’ April 20 statement was "consistent with" a statement he gave to investigators on September 11, just after Robinson turned himself in. In the September 11 meeting with investigators, Twiggs allegedly "told investigators that Robinson had admitted via electronic messages to him and others that he had killed Charlie Kirk. Investigators photographed the messages from his phone."
Twiggs had described in the statement "several of Defendant’s statements to him: that Defendant killed Charlie Kirk (count 1, aggravated murder, and count 2, felony discharge of a firearm), that he hid the firearm (count 3, obstruction of justice), disposed of clothing (count 4, obstruction of justice), and that he told Mr. Twiggs not to speak to law enforcement (count 4, witness tampering)."
The prosecution noted that "Most of these statements were through electronic messages from Defendant and one came from a handwritten note."
The revelation came in a document opposing a motion from the defense that seeks for Twiggs to appear in person at the preliminary hearing. The prosecution said that Twiggs "is not a material witness for the preliminary hearing," and thus the application should be denied.
"Defendant has not made the required showing that Mr. Twigg’s cross-examination would be material to the preliminary hearing. Rather, Defendant merely declares, rather than demonstrates, that Mr. Twiggs’s cross-examination would be material," the court document stated. "Regardless, given the State’s limited burden of proof, Defendant has not shown that Mr. Twiggs’s cross-examination would be material under any applicable definition of that term."
