Plot To Assassinate President Trump: Shocking Details Emerge In Federal Court Filings
Federal prosecutors have revealed chilling new details about an elaborate, months-long plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, allegedly orchestrated by Ryan Wesley Routh, a convicted felon from North Carolina. In a court filing submitted Sunday, the Department of Justice outlined evidence supporting a five-count indictment against Routh, including attempted assassination, possession of firearms by a felon, and assaulting a federal officer.According to the 21-page government motion, Routh, 39, traveled from North Carolina to South Florida in March 2024 to scout Trump’s movements, eventually returning in September to carry out what prosecutors say was a meticulously planned attempt to kill the former and now current president. His plot culminated in a September 15 standoff at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where Routh had set up a sniper’s hideout equipped with a military-grade SKS rifle.READ: Would-Be Trump Assassin Sought RPG To Shoot Down Trump’s Plane, DOJ...
