<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the Biden Justice Department had targeted and attempted to shut down Turning Point USA, the conservative youth organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kirk, a well-known conservative political activist, was killed by a gunman at a Turning Point USA event in Utah last week. Kirk launched Turning Point USA in 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Why was the wonderful Turning Point under INVESTIGATION by ‘Deranged’ Jack Smith and the Corrupt &amp; Incompetent Biden Administration,” the president asked in a </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115217256645822887"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Truth Social on Tuesday night.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, who served under former President Joe Biden, appointed Smith in November 2022 to serve as special counsel. Smith took over two Justice Department investigations involving Trump. One focused on Trump’s handling of classified documents, and the other concerned Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They tried to force Charlie, and many other people and movements, out of business. They Weaponized the Justice Department against Sleepy Joe Biden’s Political Opponents, including ME!” Trump added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vice President JD Vance echoed the president’s comments during an interview that aired on Fox News on Wednesday evening. Vance said that if the Biden administration had focused more on investigating radical left-wing groups instead of Kirk and his conservative youth organization, Kirk&#8217;s early death may have been prevented.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We&#8217;re talking about having law enforcement go after the people who engage in and fund literal violence, and they&#8217;re saying somehow that&#8217;s beyond the pale, even though we know Joe Biden&#8217;s FBI was investigating Charlie Kirk,” Vance <a href="https://x.com/RedWave_Press/status/1968479698154831912">told</a> host Jesse Watters. “Maybe they should have been investigating the networks that motivated, inspired, and maybe even funded Charlie Kirk&#8217;s murder. If they had, Charlie Kirk might be alive today.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">White House officials, including the president, have pointed blame at radical left-wing groups for extreme rhetoric that has tacitly or directly encouraged violence against conservatives. On Wednesday evening, the president announced that he is </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-designates-antifa-a-major-terrorist-organization"><span style="font-weight: 400;">designating</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> one such group, &#8220;ANTIFA,&#8221; as a terrorist organization.</span></p>
