This week has been defined by the assassination of Christian conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. In addition to addressing Kirk's murder in a special Oval Office address, President Donald Trump and his administration took steps this week to investigate the murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a train in North Carolina by a career criminal, as well as advance the causes of religious liberty and prayer, and tackle concerns about chronic childhood disease.

Here are five highlights from the past week.
