President Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, to the assassinated right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday.
Mr. Kirk, who was a crucial organizer of the MAGA movement, was fatally shot on Sept. 10 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. Mr. Trump announced his death on his social media site, Truth Social, and the following day, the president said he would award a posthumous medal to Mr. Kirk.
