Ryan Wesley Routh charged with federal gun crimes in alleged Trump assassination attempt

The suspect in what law enforcement is calling an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was charged in federal court Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested Sunday after authorities said he was spotted pointing a rifle through a fence near where Trump was playing golf at his club in Florida. Routh has been an outspoken critic of Trump. He also calls the former president “an idiot, a buffoon, and a fool” in his self-published book.
