## Summary

Donald Trump criticised Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf for considering a lengthy schedule for Tyler Robinson’s trial over the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The judge has not yet announced a decision, and Trump said the case should be tried within a month rather than taking years.

Robinson’s defence has asked for jury selection to begin in late 2029, citing extensive evidence and the demands of selecting a jury in a high-profile case. Lawyers for Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, have urged a trial as early as 2027, saying delay weighs heavily on the family. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to all counts, including aggravated murder, and prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty.
