Trial for Ryan Routh, Accused of Attempting to Assassinate Trump on September 15, Delayed to September 8, 2025
Dec 25, 2024, 10:00 PM
A federal judge has postponed the trial of Ryan Wesley Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump, to September 8, 2025. The trial was originally scheduled for February 10, 2025, but the delay was granted due to the defense's request, citing the extensive amount of evidence in the case. Routh, who was arrested following the incident on September 15, 2024, allegedly aimed a rifle at Trump while he was playing golf at a West Palm Beach country club. The charge of attempted assassination carries a potential life sentence if Routh is convicted. Judge Aileen Cannon presided over the case in Fort Pierce, Florida, and deemed the defense's request for a further postponement until December 2025 as excessive.
