The man accused of trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump last month in Florida will stand trial in November, a federal judge ordered on Oct. 1.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon set Nov. 18 as the trial date for Ryan Routh, 58. The order came a day after he pleaded not guilty to five federal charges, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.
