The man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump on his West Palm Beach golf course two months before clinching his second presidency in the 2024 White House election has been found guilty by a jury in Fort Pierce, Florida.
The government charged Ryan Routh, 59, with five criminal counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and assaulting a Secret Service agent, after an incident on 15 September last year when he was spotted with a rifle hiding in bushes as Trump’s golfing party approached.
Jurors returned a verdict of guilty on all charges after deliberating briefly.
