Summary
Donald Trump said the Utah judge in Charlie Kirk’s assassination case is doing a “terrible job,” arguing the trial should begin within a month rather than stretch toward 2029.
A tentative third-quarter 2029 start date emerged after defendant Tyler Robinson’s defense team proposed that timeline, intensifying complaints from Kirk’s family and Trump over delays.
Tyler Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm in Utah County, and he was due back in court Friday for a pretrial hearing.
Erika Kirk is seeking a speedy start to the case, making the scheduling fight the central flashpoint as the murder prosecution moves through pretrial proceedings.
