Ryan Rout, a suspected unsuccessful attempt at the assassination against President Donald Trump, tried to buy a rocket for the measured grenade (RPG) or the Stinger rocket from Ukraine, according to the justice report in the Southern Florida district.
The submission that quoted communication from the encrypted message for sending messages claims that Ryan Routh (58) was looking for military weapons from someone believed he was a Ukrainian weapon dealer. The prosecutors claim that this is another proof of Routh’s intention to kill Trump, who was then a Republican candidate for the president.
“Trump is not good for Ukraine”
“I need equipment so that Trump cannot choose,” Routh said, individuals in the news according to The Daily Mail, who reported the submission. “Send me RPG or Stinger and see what we can do … Trump is not good for Ukraine.”
The prosecutors say Routh also sent a photo of Trump’s aircraft campaign with the title: “Trump’s plane, turns on and off daily.”
In another message referring to an attempt to shoot at Trump in July 2024, Routh said, “I wish.”
Attempt to fail on Florida’s unsuccessful assassination
The authorities say Routh headed Trump’s rifle, while golf at the Trump International Golf Club at West Palm Beach 14. September 2024. However, the secret service agent saw him in the bushes before Trump got into sight, led to Rout to escape from the scene.
The prosecutors say Routh planned to assassinate a few weeks before the incident.
Defense challenges eye testimony
Routh’s legal team is currently trying to suppress what prosecutors describe as the most critical testimony of eyewitnesses in this case.
Routh, Hawai’s resident, admitted that he was not guilty of accusation, including an attempt at the assassination of the presidential candidate, holding a firearm by convicted crime and holding a firearm with a smoothed serial number.
They face life in prison
If he was convicted, Routh could face maximum imprisonment for life imprisonment. The Ministry of Justice must still announce the date of the court proceedings and the case remains under high security due to the nature of the accusation.
