Trump Slams Judge in Charlie Kirk Assassination Case, Citing Trial Delays

Former President Donald Trump criticized the judge overseeing the Charlie Kirk assassination case in Utah on Friday, stating the judge is performing a "terrible job." Trump expressed his view on Truth Social that the trial should commence within a month, not extend for years, and called for "JUSTICE FOR CHARLIE!"

Trump's remarks come as the defense team for Tyler Robinson, the defendant in the case, has proposed a tentative trial start date in the third quarter of 2029. Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm.

Robinson is scheduled to appear in court later on Friday. The defense's proposed 2029 trial date highlights a significant difference in timelines compared to Trump's call for swift proceedings. The case involves the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and Erika Kirk is reportedly seeking a speedy trial.
