US EditionRyan Routh Offers Himself for Prisoner Swap with US Adversaries in Letter Shared by Judge
UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – Rep. Jasmine Crockett wrongly blamed MAGA supporters for assassination attempts on Trump despite evidence showing at least one attacker was a leftist, officials and DOJ documents confirm.
- Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump in September 2024 at his Florida golf club, faces life in prison if convicted.
- Routh sent a bizarre June 29 letter to Judge Aileen Cannon offering himself for prisoner swaps with adversaries like Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea.
- In the letter, Routh expressed regret, sought to be useful by trading places with imprisoned dissidents including an Iranian woman and Hong Kong media figures.
- Routh pleaded, "Trade me anywhere that I can be useful and save or improve someone's life" and noted no response came to his multiple letters.
- Routh dismissed his attorneys, chose to represent himself, and his prisoner swap offer highlights complex legal and diplomatic implications ahead of his September 8 trial.
