The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk continues to send shockwaves through the political landscape. Newly released CCTV footage shows a car believed to belong to the suspect parked near the location of the shooting hours before the incident. This development comes as Vice President JD Vance, on a special episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show," partly blamed "left-wing extremism" for the murder. Vance, along with other prominent Republicans like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, have paid tribute to Kirk, highlighting his contributions to the Trump administration and the conservative movement. Johnson is organizing a Capitol Hill vigil in Kirk's memory. Meanwhile, Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place, is resuming classes on a phased schedule, offering mental health services to students and staff. The FBI Director has announced the discovery of new evidence linking the suspect to the scene, but the suspect is reportedly not cooperating with authorities. Various members of the Trump administration, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Miller, have joined Vance on the podcast to remember Kirk and his legacy.
