uly 9 (Reuters) - A partially redacted video interview with the roommate of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, is expected to be played in a Utah court on Thursday as part of a preliminary hearing into the September 2025 assassination of Kirk. Robinson's attorneys on Wednesday failed to prevent prosecutors from playing audio of Lance Twiggs' interview, in which they say he discusses how Robinson allegedly told him he killed Kirk. Prosecutors are trying to convince Utah District Court Judge Tony Graf they have sufficient evidence against Robinson to warrant a trial in a week-long hearing that stands as the first public ?test of prosecution evidence concerning Kirk's assassination, one of a series of attacks that have intensified concern over U.S. political violence. Kirk, 31, was killed in front of thousands as the prominent ally of President Donald ?Trump debated with students at Utah Valley University. Erika Kirk, Kirk's widow, has been present throughout the preliminary hearing. Her attorney on Thursday called for the Twiggs interview to be played in full and for all other evidence presented at the hearing to be displayed to the courtroom. "The Kirk family has waited 10 months for this hearing, and they have a right to be here, and they have a right to hear the evidence," lawyer Jeffrey Neiman told the court. But Graf stood by his decision to bar parts of the interview from being played in court after Robinson's lawyer said prosecutors would portray the clips as "confessions" and jeopardize the defendant's right to a fair trial. Twiggs agreed to record the April 20 video with prosecutors and police in lieu of testifying at the preliminary hearing, and was granted immunity for his comments, prosecutor Lauren Hunt said on Wednesday. SUSPECT HAS NOT ENTERED A PLEA Robinson, who was studying to be an electrician at the time of the shooting, has yet to enter a plea. In court this week, his lawyers have suggested police failed to investigate possible evidence that someone else was involved in the killing. Graf ruled that prosecutors could present evidence of text messages between Robinson and Twiggs, a Discord group chat and a photograph of a handwritten note. Some of that material has already been made public via court filings. Robinson's defense team said televising it could bias potential jurors. In alleged text messages after the shooting, prosecutors say Twiggs asked Robinson if he shot Kirk and Robinson said he did. Asked why he shot Kirk, he replied: "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out," according to the texts. Prosecutors contend the messages indicate Robinson targeted Kirk because of his conservative political views. The defense disputes the prosecution's characterization and has sought to limit the use of evidence he had a political motive, which could be used in arguments for the death penalty.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Olympic canoe racer has pleaded not guilty to deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. David Hearn, who competed in three Summer Olympics, entered the plea on Thursday in D.C. Superior Court. Hearn, 67, from Bethesda, Maryland, faces a felony count of property destruction. President Donald Trump ordered a multimillion-dollar renovation of the pool, but the project has faced issues. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said six others were arrested on related charges. Hearn's attorneys argue the charges are based on a "concocted narrative" and criticize the administration's handling of the situation.

A federal judge has ruled that E. Jean Carroll can collect the nearly $5.8 million that has been held in escrow since a jury found President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. The decision follows the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to overturn the 2023 civil verdict, allowing the judgment to move forward. Trump's attorneys sought to block the release of the funds but were unsuccessful. Trump has continued to deny Carroll's allegations, maintains he did not know her, and has argued the case was politically motivated.

Prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk murder case plan to play edited audio recordings of police interviews with the defendant's roommate during a preliminary hearing in Utah.

Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the September 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. He has not entered a plea, and the hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
