Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump: Ryan Routh Charged
Ryan Routh has been charged with attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump following an incident at a Florida golf course. Federal prosecutors allege Routh stalked Trump's locations, including Mar-a-Lago and a West Palm Beach golf course, for weeks prior to the alleged assassination attempt. He reportedly left a letter detailing his intentions, which included a $150,000 bounty for anyone willing to help him 'finish the job.' The case raises concerns about political motives and security, especially as the U.S. seeks an attempted assassination charge against Routh. He remains in custody without bail, as further details emerge about the incident, including the use of an assault rifle. This is not the first time Trump has faced threats, and the frequency of such incidents continues to intrigue and alarm the public.
