Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, is slated to speak out Friday evening in her first public remarks after the fatal shooting of her husband.
Earlier on Friday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) revealed that authorities have a suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, in custody.
A court filing shows Robinson is being held on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm and obstruction of justice charges. At a press conference Friday, Cox laid out details in the case, including markings that were found on bullet casings.
President Trump initially told "Fox & Friends" this morning that a suspect was in custody. He made the surprise announcement in an appearance at Fox News studios in New York.
Vice President Vance said he was "grateful" for the investigators and asked for prayers for Kirk's widow, Erika. He and second lady Usha Vance accompanied her, along with Kirk's casket, back to Phoenix late Thursday on Air Force Two.
Meanwhile, lawmakers on Capitol Hill are wrestling with the fallout from Wednesday’s assassination, which stunned the country, sent shock waves through Washington and sparked new talk — and new fears — about congressional security in an age of heightened political animus.
Also Friday morning in Washington, Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was giving a deposition in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's investigation into former President Biden's fitness for office.
