Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.

People were shocked that he was able to plea bargain, but the Judge should make him explain what happened,” Trump said.

Bryan, whose songwriting is often compared to Springsteen’s, is a U.S. Navy veteran from Oklahoma who has helped usher in a new era of country music. His career took off in 2023 with his fourth album, Zach Bryan. He released another hit album, The Great American Bar Scene, in 2024.
