Trump admin updates: White House officials hold prayer vigil for Charlie Kirk

The Democratic National Committee said U.S. Capitol Police responded to a potential bomb threat at its Washington headquarters on Thursday that was "determined not to be credible."

"Out of an abundance of caution, Capitol Police is conducting an interior sweep of the building. As DNC Chair Ken Martin has said, political violence in every form has no place in our country. We are grateful to the U.S. Capitol Police and DNC building security for responding quickly and professionally," a DNC spokesperson said.

Capitol Police told ABC News that officers immediately responded after they were notified of a potential bomb threat directed toward the DNC and were checking the building and surrounding areas.

"So far nothing has been found outside. We are checking inside of the building out of an abundance of caution," police said.

In the wake of the shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk, the White House made the decision to move the 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony at the Pentagon into the courtyard -- away from the 9/11 memorial where the somber ceremony has been held for decades.

"After yesterday's heartbreaking political assassination of Charlie Kirk, a decision was made to move the ceremony to the courtyard," a White House official said.

When pressed about who made the decision, the official confirmed that the White House made the call to move it into the courtyard.

U.S. Secret Service deferred to the White House when asked for comment.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, Vice President Vance and the second lady will meet with Charlie Kirk’s family and a number of his close friends, a source confirmed to ABC News.

Kirk's casket, along with his family and friends, will then be flown to Phoenix, aboard Air Force Two, the source also confirmed.

Vance mourned Kirk and detailed their friendship after Kirk was fatally shot on Wednesday.

"Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs," Vance wrote in a long post on X.

President Donald Trump told pool reporters he plans to speak with Charlie Kirk's family on Thursday afternoon. He referred to Kirk's wife, Erika, as a "wonderful woman."

The comments came after Trump announced he will award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously. The award is the nation's highest civilian honor.
