US EditionTrial Set for Man Charged with Trump Assassination Attempt at Florida Golf Club
Ryan Routh faces multiple federal and state charges including attempted assassination and firearm violations; over 40 government witnesses are expected to testify during the trial.
- Jury selection has begun in the federal court in Fort Pierce for Ryan Wesley Routh, who faces charges related to an attempted attack on Donald Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach last September.
- Routh attempted the attack on September 15, 2024, after traveling from North Carolina with a semiautomatic rifle and setting up a sniper’s nest near the golf course fence.
- Authorities found Routh hiding behind a cyclone fence with the rifle, which had his fingerprints, and he fled the scene after Secret Service agents fired shots at him.
- Routh chose to dismiss his appointed attorney and act as his own counsel, expressing regret for his failure and telling the judge that both he and Trump could be held accountable for the poor decision.
- The trial will expose Routh’s political shifts, criminal history, and risk of a possible life sentence, with over 40 government witnesses expected to testify on evidence including text messages and the rifle.
