Man pleads not guilty to attempted assassination of Donald Trump

Ryan Routh, 58, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The plea was entered in federal court following a dramatic incident at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach.

Prosecutors allege that Routh was found hiding in the bushes with a rifle, which raised alarm among security personnel. A Secret Service officer, tasked with protecting Trump, reportedly spotted the barrel of Routh’s rifle poking through a fence and fired shots in response. Routh then fled the scene, but law enforcement apprehended him later on Interstate 95, a major highway in the area.

In addition to the attempted assassination charge, which could result in a life sentence, Routh faces two additional charges related to firearms offenses. The case has drawn significant media attention, underscoring the heightened security concerns surrounding public figures and the severity of threats against them.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the court will address the serious allegations against Routh, while the implications of such actions continue to resonate in the political landscape.
