Trump says judge is 'desecrating' Charlie Kirk's memory amid fight over assassination trial date
Trump slammed the Utah judge in the Charlie Kirk assassination case, saying the trial should take a month, not years, as a 2029 date was proposed by the defense.
President Donald Trump criticized the judge overseeing Charlie Kirk's assassination case in Utah on Friday, saying he's doing a "terrible job."
"The judge in the Charlie Kirk case is doing a terrible job! This case should be tried within a month, not three years — and it should be over with! The judge is desecrating the memory of the Great Charlie Kirk, while taking forever to ask questions that people already know the answer to. The whole Country is mocking him and our 'Legal' System. JUSTICE FOR CHARLIE!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Trump's comments come after Tyler Robinson's defense team proposed a tentative trial start date in the third quarter of 2029.
Robinson is due in court on Friday afternoon.
