Prosecutors on Sept. 24 charged a man suspected of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.

Ryan Routh, 58, is already facing two gun-related charges after authorities said he pointed a rifle through a fence at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 15 while the Republican presidential candidate was playing golf. On Sept. 23, a judge ordered that he remain in jail to await trial.
