Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, is now in the second day of his preliminary hearing ... and a law enforcement officer is testifying against Robinson's noticeable limp -- caught on video the day of the shooting -- which is claimed to be because of a weapon tucked in his pants.

Check out the video ... Tyler is seen going up a flight of stairs on Utah Valley University campus with a noticeable limp ... and this was moments before he allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk.

Police are saying that limp is not because of any physical injury or deformity, but rather because he had a gun -- or perhaps part of a gun -- tucked away in his pants which inhibited the use of his leg.

Support is flooding in as Nolan Wells' family mourns his tragic death ... a GoFundMe is fast approaching six figures worth of donations.

Allayah wrote on GoFundMe ... "Nolan Xavier Wells was a beloved son, grandson, brother, friend and teammate whose life touched so many people. His smile, kind heart, and love for others left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him."

Prince Harry's war with the British tabloids just hit another roadblock ... because he and a group of celebrity pals struck out in court against the publisher of the Daily Mail.

Harry and the other high-profile claimants accused Associated Newspapers Limited of illegally digging up information for stories about them ... but after an 11-week trial, the High Court ruled they simply didn't prove it.

In a 436-page judgment, the judge found the claimants failed to show the reporting stemmed from unlawful information gathering ... saying there were legitimate explanations for how the information could have been obtained -- so, the case was dismissed.

A Planet Fitness in California turned into a crash scene when a motorist reportedly plowed through the gym in her car after suffering a medical emergency.

The horrific accident occurred Monday afternoon at the Planet Fitness in Lake Elsinore, and the aftermath was captured by a gym member recording with his cell phone camera.

According to ABC7, the woman suffered a health crisis as she pulled into the parking lot ... she lost control of her vehicle, smashed through the gym entrance, and drove about 30 feet inside before stopping. Miraculously, nobody was injured except the driver.

Mitch McConnell's health saga is continuing to fuel questions in Washington ... and now, one of the people closest to him has suddenly gone silent online.

Porter McConnell -- the eldest daughter of the former Senate Majority Leader -- appears to have deactivated her X account as speculation about her 84-year-old father's condition continues to swirl. The account had long been active ... with Porter frequently criticizing both her father's politics and the Republican Party.

The move comes as McConnell remains out of public view following the tight-lipped medical emergency that landed him in the hospital last month.

Missing 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells' body has been found off the Mississippi Gulf Coast, according to local authorities.

Officials tell local outlets the body was discovered Monday morning around 8:45 AM in the water near the northwest end of Horn Island after a park ranger made the grim find.

Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said the remains matched the description of Wells, who had been the subject of a search effort.

Erika Kirk and Charlie Kirk's parents walked out of court as a police officer described the moment Charlie was fatally shot ... an emotional scene as prosecutors began laying out their case against his accused killer.

Erika -- along with Robert and Kathryn Kirk -- left the courtroom Monday before former Utah Valley University police officer Chris Bagley testified about the September 2025 shooting ... though they later returned following a break.

The testimony kicked off Tyler Robinson's five-day preliminary hearing ... where prosecutors are presenting witnesses and 40 to 50 exhibits as they try to convince the judge there's enough evidence to send the case to trial.

Guess the Trump Administration does believe in second chances ... because they are going to be using the same company to perform more repairs on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Check out the clip ... Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum -- responsible for overseeing national parks and landmarks' maintenance -- was on CNN Monday and told Dana Bash the company that installed the liner earlier this year "did a fantastic job" and will be performing a new set of repairs.

He is also adamant the pool liner that was peeled out of the water was the work of vandals ... which is exactly what President Trump claimed since this whole fiasco started.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing a new sexual assault allegation from a woman he previously dated ... an accusation he strongly denies.

Jenny Racicot -- a 41-year-old Maine woman -- tells Politico she had an on-and-off relationship with Platner for more than two years before he allegedly entered her home uninvited one night in late 2021 while deeply intoxicated. She claims Platner forced himself on her despite repeatedly being told to stop.

Platner doubled down on his denial in a video Monday ... while revealing he's taking time to consider the best path forward for his campaign in light of the allegation.

King Charles is rolling heavy ... climbing aboard a British Army tank and taking command during his first official visit to the Royal Tank Regiment.

The 77-year-old monarch strapped on a helmet and headset Monday before riding in the commander's seat of a Challenger 2 tank at Bovington Camp in Dorset ... popping out of the turret in sunglasses and a tie as the 60-plus-ton war machine kicked up dust around the arena. Check out the pics -- His Majesty looked right at home rolling with some serious royal firepower.

The visit marked Charles' first official trip to the regiment since becoming its Colonel-in-Chief in 2023 ... taking over the ceremonial role previously held by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

10:41 AM PT -- FIFA President Gianni Infantino has responded to the backlash on Trump ... saying "Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues."

He adds "During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA's independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies."

The decisions that are made by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee are brought to Infantino who -- despite whether he agrees with the decision or not --always will "respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them."

Donald Trump says we should go to VAR for his self-alleged conversation with FIFA President Gianni Infantino to review the red card that was given to USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on last Wednesday's U.S. vs. Bosnia World Cup match.

Check out the video ... the President of the United States says all he did was ask for a review and he didn't tell Infantino what to do. He adds "that wasn't a foul ... that wasn't even an infraction" and goes on to call the referee who made the call in that match "a little bit suspect" and has "a past."

ICYMI, Trump asked FIFA to review the call that sent Balogun off the pitch in the U.S. vs. Bosnia game last Wednesday, and on Sunday FIFA revoked the red card that was given ... meaning Balogun is good to play in today's U.S. vs. Belgium World Cup Round of 16 game.

Erika Kirk arrived at a Provo, Utah, courthouse Monday morning for the preliminary hearing of Tyler Robinson ... stepping out of a black SUV and making her way inside ahead of the high-stakes proceeding.

Robinson is accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in September 2025. He's facing multiple charges, including aggravated murder, and prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty if he's convicted.

Erika has attended several court proceedings in the case ... and Monday's hearing could determine whether prosecutors have enough evidence to move forward with a trial.

11:13 AM PT -- The Unites Cajun Navy posted a message on Facebook saying they have called off the search for Nolan Wells.

8:32 AM PT -- A body has been found on Horn island according to Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter ... the identity of the body is still unknown at this time.

A massive search is underway for a Mississippi teenager who vanished during a Fourth of July trip to a popular island ... and authorities are asking anyone who spent the holiday on the water to help bring him home.

Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells was last seen around 3 p.m. Saturday on Horn Island -- off the Mississippi coast, Ocean Springs -- according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department. He was wearing black shorts and sunglasses when he disappeared.

Authorities say Nolan had traveled to the island by boat with friends ... but it's unclear whether he ever made it back to the mainland.

The fireworks may be over, but the cleanup was just getting started Sunday morning in Washington, D.C. ... where crews were hard at work clearing the Reflecting Pool after the massive Fourth of July celebration.

In photos posted online, workers were seen cleaning out the Reflecting Pool near the Lincoln Memorial, removing debris it had collected from the holiday festivities.

The pool appeared to be littered with ash and other remnants left behind following the night's fireworks display and the enormous crowds that packed the area.

New video shows cleanup crews all over the Reflecting Pool after America's 250th birthday celebration ... and it's clear they've got their work cut out for them. Crews are putting in some serious elbow grease to get the Reflecting Pool and the surrounding park looking presentable AGAIN.

Check it out ... workers are getting in the water with nets and other cleaning materials to pluck out all the crap that's now littering the pool.

This cleanup goes way beyond fireworks ash and debris ... there are trash bags scattered all around the Reflecting Pool, and a few bags even took an unplanned dip in the still algae-filled water.

The National Guard was nice enough to let cleanup crews through the fence, with forklifts full of supplies, so they could start making the Reflecting Pool great again. Now let's just hope nobody mistakes the workers for swimmers and slaps cuffs on them when it's time to jump in the water and finish the job!

As you know ... the Reflecting Pool has been having "fireworks" over the last couple months ... with alleged vandals being arrested and prosecuted for tampering with the pool's water -- like ex-Olympian David Hearn who was indicted on Thursday.

This all started because of the Trump administration's botched $16 Million renovation project ... which it looks like now they've added a layer of trash to the mix.
