A jury reportedly just found Ryan Routh, who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign, guilty on all counts.
CBS12 in Florida reported that the jury reached a verdict in Routh’s federal trial on Tuesday, with decisions on five different charges connected to Routh’s near-deadly attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach last September.
The jury had requested a review of the SKS sniper rifle and ammunition that Routh used and provided subsequently as evidence. Routh had apparently used military style tactics to remain undercover in the golf course area for significant periods of time before authorities caught him with his gun allegedly aimed at a Secret Service agent. Routh had posted online that democracy was on the ballot in 2024 and Democrats couldn’t lose.
DNA found on various items reportedly matched Routh’s DNA.
According to our I-Team Chief Investigator, Routh was found guilty on all five counts of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number…
Prosecutors argued that Routh’s actions were premeditated and modeled after sniper operations, with the intent to assassinate a major presidential candidate.
Routh represented himself during the trial and questioned witnesses, according to CBS12.
The court did not allow cameras in the courtroom, so the verdict had yet to be officially broadcast, but one camera did catch Routh’s daughter melting down:
