Trump Assassination Attempt: Moment suspect arrested

The suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump spent almost 12 hours lying in wait for the former president at his golf course, according to court documents.

Ryan Wesley Routh took up position at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida just before 2am on Sunday, officials said, citing data from the 58-year-old’s mobile phone.

He camped at the spot, where he was concealed in the treeline, with food and an assault rifle until 1:31pm, when he was allegedly spotted by Trump’s security team and fled in a black Nissan without opening fire.
