DOJ Under Biden/Harris Releases Ryan Routh's $150,000 Bounty on Trump, Sparks Controversy

Sep 23, 2024, 02:54 PM

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a letter from Ryan Routh, who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, in which he offers a $150,000 bounty to anyone who can 'complete the job.' This decision has sparked significant controversy as the DOJ, under the Biden/Harris administration, had previously withheld the manifesto of the Covenant shooter, citing concerns that it could inspire further violence. Critics, including Garland and Wray, argue that the release of Routh's letter, which openly encourages further attempts on Trump's life, is inconsistent and dangerous. The DOJ's actions have led to widespread condemnation, with many questioning the motives and potential consequences of making such information public.
