The possibility of holding the Clintons in contempt of court for failing to appear in the Epstein case grows

 

In an event that shocked the American political world, Charlie Kirk, co-founder and executive director of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, died this Wednesday afternoon after being shot. The news was confirmed by President Donald Trump through his social media account, Truth Social, where he expressed his grief and highlighted the legacy of one of the most influential activists of the American right in the last decade.

“The great, and even legendary, Charlie Kirk has passed away. No one understood or had the hearts of the youth of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially by me, and now he is no longer with us. Melania and my deepest condolences to his beautiful wife Erika and their family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote in a message that quickly went viral and generated thousands of reactions across the country.

At just 30 years old, Kirk had become one of the most powerful voices within the American conservative movement. He founded Turning Point USA in 2012, an organization that mobilized thousands of young college students around causes such as the defense of the free market, American nationalism, and opposition to what he considered "progressive hegemony" in educational institutions.

His combative style, his viral speeches on college campuses, and his closeness to high-profile Republican figures—including Trump himself—made him a figurehead of the new populist right in the United States.

In Congress, the news generated mixed responses. Republican lawmakers deeply mourned Kirk's death, describing him as a "visionary" and an "inspirational leader for new generations." Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene asserted that the loss "leaves a void that cannot be filled in the fight to save America's values."

Meanwhile, some Democratic members of Congress, while critical of his rhetoric, expressed their condolences to the family and rejected violence as a political tool. "Our ideological differences are great, but no one deserves to be the victim of such an atrocious act," declared Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
