Tyler Robinson Seeks to Block Video Evidence in Charlie Kirk Murder Case
Lawyers for Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of murdering Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, are attempting to prevent video footage of the killing from being presented as evidence at a hearing scheduled for February 3, according to Fox News. Kirk, 31, a father of two, was fatally shot in the neck in September at Utah Valley University, where he was participating in a public speaking event sponsored by the campus chapter of Turning Point.
The motion to block the video comes amidst other controversies surrounding Turning Point USA. St. John's University's student government recently denied a Turning Point USA chapter official club status for the second time, a school spokesperson confirmed Wednesday morning, following an initial rejection in November, according to Fox News. "At St. Johns University, the sole authority to approve or deny new student organizations rests solely with the Student Government," the spokesperson stated.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has determined that San Jose State University (SJSU) violated Title IX in its handling of a transgender former volleyball player, Blaire Fleming, Fox News reported. The ED launched an investigation last February after a highly publicized controversy. SJSU now has 10 days to comply with a series of agreements or face "imminent enforcement action."
In other news, a CNN panel discussion led to a clash between Kevin O'Leary and liberal commentator Tiffany Cross, a former MSNBC host, after Cross claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were "White supremacists," citing "tattoos" on the officers and alleging that members of the Proud Boys had become ICE officers, according to Fox News.
Internationally, a passenger train in northeastern Ukraine was targeted by Russian drones, resulting in five deaths, the BBC reported. A soldier, identified as Omar from Ukraine's 93rd brigade, described the panic as passengers threw themselves on the floor when a carriage was hit. He instructed them to evacuate immediately before the carriage burst into flames. "Without his instruction, issued moments before the carriage burst into flames, many more passengers could have died," the BBC stated. The train was traveling from Chop, near the Slovakian border, to Barvinkove.
