Ryan Routh to Appear in Court, Facing Gun Charges in Alleged Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump in Florida. FBI Investigates Motive as Potential Assassination Attempt.

Ryan Routh faces charges for allegedly aiming a rifle near Donald Trump's Florida golf course in a suspected assassination attempt. Routh, a convicted felon, had an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number. He was arrested after a U.S. Secret Service agent fired at him, causing him to flee. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential assassination attempt on Donald Trump ahead of the November 5th presidential election. It follows a similar incident two months earlier when a gunman wounded Trump during a rally.
