A Utah judge will decide whether prosecutors violated a pretrial publicity order in the Charlie Kirk killing case and, if found in contempt, whether the death penalty should be removed as a possible punishment; the judge will also determine if hearsay evidence can be used at the upcoming preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, who faces aggravated murder and related charges.
Federal prosecutors suggest that former President Donald Trump may have violated the conditions of his release by purchasing a gun during a campaign stop in South Carolina, which could be discussed at an upcoming hearing on a potential gag order. In a separate civil case in New York City, a fraud trial against Trump and his company is set to begin, with the New York Attorney General alleging that the Trump Organization inflated property values to defraud lenders and insurance companies. Meanwhile, Trump faces various charges in Georgia, Washington D.C., Florida, and New York, with ongoing legal battles and trial dates being scheduled. The issue of hearsay arises in the D.C. federal election case, where witnesses may testify about comments they heard outside of court to show how those comments influenced Trump's actions, but not as evidence of election compromise.
