President Donald Trump criticised "the left" for fostering hatred that he said contributed to Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University last Wednesday. Accused shooter Tyler Robinson's ties to pro-trans online groups and threatening social media posts are under investigation, while authorities examine his personal relationships and possible accomplices. FBI Director Kash Patel faces scrutiny after falsely claiming the suspect was in custody, with upcoming congressional hearings set to review his handling of the probe and broader bureau priorities. In response to Kirk's killing, the Trump administration is seeking $58 million to strengthen security for the executive and judicial branches, highlighting growing concerns about political violence in the US.
