President Donald Trump weighed in on the upcoming charges for the suspect accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week in Utah.
Trump, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, noted the possibility that his administration would press forward with federal charges, in addition to the state-level charges that suspect Tyler Robinson will be facing.
“Well, I just want something to happen, whether it’s federal, state, most likely, it’s going to be state. The question is whether or not we overlap with a federal judge,” Trump said. “So, they’re looking at that, but the state is very confident.”
Robinson, 22, is set to appear in court Tuesday for the first time after he was arrested last week on suspicion of the fatal shooting of Kirk on Sept. 10.
