Ryan Routh, currently facing federal charges for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, has been hit with additional state charges in Florida, including attempted first-degree murder and terrorism. The incident occurred in September 2024 at Trump's West Palm Beach golf course, where Routh allegedly aimed a rifle at Trump. Authorities uncovered evidence of Routh's extensive preparations, including attempts to procure military-grade weapons from Ukraine. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier criticized previous federal handling of the case but acknowledged improved cooperation under the current administration.
