Man suspected of trying to kill Trump charged with attempted assassination

Author: AFP

Ryan Routh, the man who is believed to have tried to kill Donald Trump in Florida, has been charged with attempted assassination. The new indictment was issued by a grand jury. The gunman accused of planning to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course was indicted Tuesday on three additional counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, the US Department of Justice announced. Ryan Routh, 58, was arrested on September 15 after Secret Service agents spotted him with a gun near the course where Trump was playing. He has already been charged with two gun crimes in relation to the incident. The new indictment was issued late Tuesday by a grand jury — a panel of citizens with investigative powers — in Miami, Florida, the justice department said in a statement. Court documents indicated that the case was assigned at random to Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee who stopped criminal proceedings against the former president over his retention of top-secret documents at his private residence.
