Nearly a year after his speech was disrupted by an angry mob of student protesters, Kyle Rittenhouse will return to the University of Memphis on Wednesday evening to talk about the Second Amendment and his controversial 2021 trial.

The University of Memphis chapter of Turning Point USA re-invited Rittenhouse to speak after the university and Rittenhouse's lawyers worked out a deal to ensure an adequate security presence this time, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorney Mathew Hoffmann told Fox News Digital.

"The bottom line is universities cannot allow hostile students and other people to shut down speakers that they don't like," Hoffmann said. "That's enshrined in Tennessee law and the First Amendment. The mob forced him to cut his speech short, and he left not being able to communicate his message."

PROTESTERS DISRUPT KYLE RITTENHOUSE TPUSA EVENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS: 'NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE'

Intervening on Rittenhouse's and TPUSA's behalf, ADF sent a demand letter in October asking the university to reschedule the event and "reimburse TPUSA an unconstitutional security fee it was forced to pay after the event was shut down." The university did reschedule it, but did not refund the $1,600 fee "for security that stood idly by and allowed the mob to shut down the event."

"They did change their security fee assessment system. The university has committed in advance of the event to give a short statement about promoting respectful dialogue and how disruption will not be tolerated," Hoffmann said.

Rittenhouse was acquitted during a high-profile case in 2021 of five charges after fatally shooting two people and injuring a third during unrest in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020. His defense attorneys argued he acted in self-defense after being attacked. The decedents, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, both had criminal records, including allegations of domestic abuse, child molestation and disorderly conduct.

RITTENHOUSE FOUND NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

The University of Memphis did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment by time of publication.

Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a charge that he defrauded donors who gave money to a private campaign to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Bannon pleaded guilty to one scheme to defraud count and was sentenced to three years conditional discharge. He will avoid jail time as part of a plea agreement as long as he stays out of trouble. 

When reporters asked Bannon how he felt as he left the courtroom, he responded: "Like a million bucks."

Bannon's lawyer told reporters outside the court that there was no way his client could get a fair trial.

Another condition of the plea agreement states Bannon is barred from fundraising for or serving as "an officer, director, or in any other fiduciary position" for any charitable organization with assets in New York state. He also cannot use, sell or possess any data gathered from donors to the "We Build the Wall" scheme.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, praised the plea agreement.

"This resolution achieves our primary goal: to protect New York’s charities and New Yorkers’ charitable giving from fraud," Bragg said in a statement. 

He added: "New York has an important interest in rooting out fraud in our markets, our corporations, and our charities, and we will continue to do just that."

Bannon, 71, pleaded not guilty in September 2022 to a state court indictment charging him with money laundering, fraud and conspiracy in the border wall scheme.

He was accused of falsely promising donors that all money given to the We Build the Wall campaign would go toward building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, prosecutors alleged the money was used to enrich Bannon and others involved in the project.

After Trump pardoned Bannon during the final hours of his first term in office in 2021, Bragg charged Bannon in state court on the same allegations.

The plea comes days after Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the Justice Department to investigate what the president called the "weaponization of prosecutorial power" – cases she said appear to have been motivated by "political objectives or other improper aims," including Bragg’s pursuit of criminal charges against Trump.

Speaking to reporters outside court, Bannon called on Bondi to begin an immediate criminal investigation into Bragg and New York Attorney General Leticia James.
