Man Pleads Not Guilty to Attempted Assassination Charges Against Trump
A man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to federal charges on September 30, following an incident where he camped outside Trump's golf course for 12 hours with a rifle before being apprehended by the US Secret Service. Ryan Wesley Routh, known for his active support of Ukraine's military in the ongoing conflict against Russia, made a brief appearance in federal court in West Palm Beach after a grand jury issued a five-count indictment against him. This marks what appears to be the second assassination attempt on Trump since July. Law enforcement officials have noted that Routh has a lengthy criminal history, with over 100 arrests, many related to traffic violations. His documented travels to Ukraine and Taiwan raise concerns about his ability to navigate borders undetected, adding a complex layer to this alarming situation.
