Erika was seen weeping as she gave a candid speech about her husband’s legacy.

She also thanked Trump for giving Charlie “the best birthday gift”.
“President Trump you have given my husband, Charlie, the best birthday gift he could ever have on this day that he would have been 32 years old.”
She continued: “Free yourself from fear. God began a mighty work in my husband and i intend to see it through. We miss you and we promise we’ll do you proud. Happy birthday, my dear.”
