Trump claims he could have made Bryan Kohberger admit to why he killed 4 students
"If it were up to the President, he would have forced this monster to publicly explain why he chose to steal these innocent souls,” Karoline Leavitt said (Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)
The White House extended condolences to the families of the four University of Idaho students brutally murdered in November 2022.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Donald Trump would have compelled Bryan Kohberger to publicly explain his motive for the killings.
Bryan Kohberger received four consecutive life sentences, plus an additional 10 years for burglary, without the possibility of parole.
During his sentencing hearing, Kohberger declined the opportunity to address the court or provide a reason for the horrific murders.
He had previously accepted a plea deal, admitting guilt to all four counts of first-degree murder and burglary, which removed the death penalty option and did not obligate him to disclose a motive.
