By Josh Christenson, Steven Nelson and Kaydi Pelletier
Stay up-to-date on President Trump and national politics Tuesday, as the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled FBI Director Kash Patel for nearly four hours about Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, plus Antifa, Russiagate and more, in a contentious hearing.
Robinson, 22, is appearing in court for the first time today, virtually from jail, at 5 p.m. ET. The Utah County DA announced formal charges against him this afternoon, including aggravated murder. The DA said he’ll see the death penalty.
Meanwhile, Trump and first lady Melania are en route to the UK for his historic second state visit, where he’ll meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to sign major, multi-billion dollar nuclear energy agreements between the countries.
He’ll also meet with King Charles III, who’s rolling out the red carpet for Trump and has invited him to a State Banquet.

By Ryan King
President Trump signed an executive order postponing the Wednesday deadline for ByteDance to divest from TikTok or be banned in the US to Dec. 16, according to the White House.
The move comes a day after Trump announced a framework had been reached with China to have ByteDance sell off the American version of the microvideo app to a non-Chinese owner.

Trump has claimed he will speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping about the matter on Friday.
Congress passed a law last year that required TikTok to be divested from its Chinese parent company due to national security concerns. However, the divest-or-ban deadline has been moved four times by by Trump since taking office Jan. 20.

Trump blasts Gavin 'Newscum' over plans to build low-income housing in wildfire-ravaged Palisades
By Ryan King
President Trump lashed out at California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom over plans to construct low-income housing in the Palisades, which was ravaged by wildfires in Southern California earlier this year.
"How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much! Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the Low Income Housing starts rising long before he gets Permits for California Citizens to rebuild," he chided on Truth Social.
