Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump last year at his South Florida golf course, is set to go on trial in federal court on Sept. 8.
In September 2024, Routh, 59, allegedly entered the grounds of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, armed with a semiautomatic rifle. Prosecutors allege that Routh pointed the rifle barrel at a U.S. Secret Service agent while targeting Trump, who was then the Republican presidential candidate.
