WATCH LIVE: President Trump Signs a Memorandum and Speaks to the Press – 4 PM ET
UPDATE: Trump is signing a Presidential Memorandum to establish “the Memphis Safe Task Force,” which he says will be a “replica” of his crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
President Trump is scheduled to sign a Presidential Memorandum and speak to reporters this afternoon.
The White House has not provided any details on the memo Trump will sign.
The signing will take place after Trump’s meeting with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, leader of the Eastern Orthodox Christians, who arrived at the White House at approximately 2 pm for his first White House visit in four years.
This also comes amid the ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Charlie was assassinated by a leftwing terrorist, later identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last Wednesday. The shooter was revealed by law enforcement to have engraved his ammunition casings with Antifa and transgender slogans.
After a 33-hour manhunt, Robinson was turned over to the authorities. It was later revealed that Robinson lived with his romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, a male who was transitioning to a female. Some in pro-trans online circles appeared to have advanced knowledge of the plot and later celebrated the horrific murder, The Gateway Pundit reported.
Trump on Sunday confirmed that a large group of leftists and those funding the leftwing violence are “already under major investigation.”
President Trump last month called for far-left billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be investigated and charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for being the main funders and supporters of violent far-left rioters.
President Trump is expected to discuss the investigation and Charlie Kirk's assassination in the Oval Office today.
The ceremony and press conference are scheduled to begin at 4 pm ET.
