US Attorney [press conference]: Ryan Wesley Routh…has been charged by a criminal complaint, in the Southern District of Florida, with firearms offenses related to an incident that occurred yesterday at Trump International Golf Course….charged federally with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

US Attorney: The FBI is continuing it's investigation of this incident as an assassination attempt upon the former president.

FBI: The Evidence Response Team is colecting and processing multiple evidentiary items. These range from the rifle, which is an SKS model with a scope and obliterated serial numbers, to two bags, the subject's electronics, and what appears to be ceramic tiles. DNA has also been collected from those items which are being sent to Quantico for testing…the subject had an active online presence, and we are going through what he posted, and any searches he conducted online. In addition, we're going through media reports and public statements he made, that he wanted to recruit Afghan soldiers, and others, to fight for Ukraine.

Secret Service Director Rowe: The subject [Routh], who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene. He did not fire or get off any shots at our agent.

Director Rowe: Having served in local law enforcement in Palm Beach County, I can state that I am tremendously impressed and appreciative of all the efforts of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, and Snyder with the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

[interesting coincidence]

Director Rowe: When it comes to Secret Service protection, we provide the highest level.

[at the press conference yesterday, it was said President Trump not being president puts him at a level that didn't require the course to be surrounded by protection]

Director Rowe: Coming out of Butler, I have ordered a paradigm shift. The Secret Service's protective methodologies work, and they are sound, and we saw that yesterday.

[Routh should have never been able to get into that treeline]

Reporter: Did he act alone? Did he have some kind of help?

FBI: At this point, we're still exploring that, investigating that. Our investigation will determine that. We do not have information that he's been acting with anyone else at present.
