Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has reportedly deleted the Facebook account of Ryan Wesley Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The deletion occurred shortly after Routh's name was made public, leading to speculation about the motive behind the swift action. Some users have questioned whether the FBI was involved in the decision to remove Routh's account, which allegedly contained anti-Trump and pro-Kamala-Biden posts. Additionally, archived versions of the account reportedly included posts about recruiting mercenaries for unspecified activities. This incident marks the second assassination attempt on Trump.
