Trump criticizes judge in Charlie Kirk assassination trial over delayed date
President Donald Trump accused the judge presiding over the assassination case of Charlie Kirk in Utah of performing a "terrible job" on Friday. The criticism centers on the timeline for the trial, with the president arguing that the proceedings should conclude within a month rather than extending to three years. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the judicial process is "desecrating the memory" of Kirk. He further claimed that the judge is asking questions that the public already knows the answers to, asserting that the nation is mocking both the judge and the legal system. The president's remarks follow a proposal by the defense team for Tyler Robinson, who is accused in the case, to set a tentative trial start date in the third quarter of 2029. Robinson is scheduled to appear in court on Friday afternoon. An armored truck believed to be transporting Robinson arrived at the courthouse as part of these proceedings.
