The suspect accused of hiding out with a gun near former President Donald Trump’s Florida golf course in an attempt to assassinate the former president appeared in a federal court on Sept. 23 as prosecutors released a box of his belongings that included a note he wrote apparently confirming that he sought to carry out the assassination.
Prosecutors charged Ryan Routh, 58, with two gun crimes after he allegedly pointed a rifle through a fence while Trump was playing golf at his West Palm Beach course on Sept. 15. Routh hasn’t entered a plea.
