FORT PIERCE, Fla.—An attorney for Ryan Routh, the man suspected of attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump earlier this year, indicated in court on Dec. 11 that her client was showing signs of mental illness.
During a status conference with Judge Aileen Cannon, defense attorney Kristy Militello said that witnesses had described Routh as hallucinating and delusional. Militello said it could take months to interview experts to evaluate Routh’s mental health.
