"President Trump and several other top administration officials eulogized political activist Charlie Kirk yesterday. Trump said the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA is "a martyr now for American freedom" at the memorial service, less than two weeks after he was killed. Kirk was seen as a prominent leader within the MAGA movement who worked to bring young people into the conservative fold."
"In a social media post published over the weekend, Trump pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate his political rivals. The post mentioned former FBI director James Comey, California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff and New York State Attorney General Letitia James. The president says all three are guilty, and nothing is being done about it. He didn't specify what they are guilty of."
President Trump and several top administration officials eulogized Charlie Kirk, calling the 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder "a martyr now for American freedom." The memorial took place in a packed NFL stadium where many attendees wore the white T-shirt with the word "freedom" that Kirk wore when he was shot. Speakers said the assassination would amplify Kirk's message. Erika Kirk forgave the man accused of killing her husband. The service included Christianity, praise music and Bible verses. Trump veered into political topics during remarks and urged investigations into perceived political rivals via social media.
