The White House said that if it were up to President Donald Trump, he would have “forced” Bryan Kohberger to “publicly explain” why he killed four Idaho college students — after the cold-blooded killer declined to share his motive during his sentencing hearing.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to Bryan Kohberger being sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday, saying that the president would have forced Kohberger to publicly explain why he killed four University of Idaho students.

Donald Trump would've used his lasso of truth to make Bryan Kohberger spill on the motive for his heinous crimes ... so says the White House Press Secretary.

President Donald Trump talked about the case on social media days before Bryan Kohberger is scheduled to be sentenced after pleading guilty in the 2022 killings.

President Trump said in part that before Kohberger is sentenced, he hopes the judge makes Kohberger explain his motive behind the murders.

Families of the four students stabbed to death in a home near the University of Idaho campus shared emotional statements during the defendant's sentencing. Bryan Kohberger was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole.
