Florida Charges Trump Assassin Suspect With Attempted First Degree Murder, Terrorism
Florida AG James Uthmeier noted how former President Joe Biden’s administration hindered Florida’s attempt to file state charges against Routh

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the state charged Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, with attempted first-degree murder and terrorism.
On Sunday, September 15, 2024, an FBI agent caught Routh by the fence around the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, FL, as Trump golfed.
The agent saw the barrel of an AK-47 poking through the fence.
Uthmeier noted how former President Joe Biden’s administration hindered Florida’s attempt to file state charges against Routh:
The leadership of US Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel was instrumental in preserving Florida’s sovereign authority to do what is right and bring justice where it is due. We now have a federal government willing to work together to pursue justice.
Attempting to take the life of a former president and a leading presidential candidate isn’t just an attack on one man. This was a political attack against our Republican form of government and our shared American values. We cannot allow justice to be delayed or denied.
Today, my office is officially charging Ryan Routh for attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.
Thanks to the leadership of @AGPamBondi and @FBIDirectorKash, we now have a federal government willing to work with the states to pursue justice. pic.twitter.com/HFuI2W4tdx

(Thank you, Uthmeier, because we are a republic…NOT a democracy!)
It was the second assassination attempt on Trump within months.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order demanding that local and state law enforcement work with their federal counterparts.
The DOJ did not even add assassination charges against Routh until DeSantis signed the order. The feds only charged him with federal gun crimes at first.
A month later, then-Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued the DOJ, alleging the department blocked the state from investigating the assassination attempt.
Moody said federal officials told Florida officials the state “may not conduct its own investigation, may not interview witnesses, and may only cooperate with the federal government’s investigation.”
“Because § 351(f) does not prohibit such conduct, and because it would violate the Tenth Amendment if it reached so far, Florida sues to vindicate its sovereign interest to investigate violations of state law, as delay may impact the outcome of any prosecution,” added Moody.

lefty loves their criminals
watch out for any covert jurors who might have served of the oj case
Light him up!!!!
First , make him squeal like the pig he is
There is much he k owes about our “government “
No private citizen goes to Ukraine to hire and dispatch mercenaries,…he was working for/with the government
I think you are spot on about this guy. How in the hell was a “nobody type of” guy from Florida permitted to travel to Ukraine as a private citizen during wartime? Could the Zelensky regime and the Biden CIA/State Department be a part of this? It sounds too much like the Lee Harvey Oswald adventures to Moscow saga.
We know Biden didn’t make these decisions. I think it’s imperative that we find out who was making all these outlandish, idiotic, un-American decisions for him.
Who was running our country for 4 years? It wasn’t Biden.
Been wondering what happened to the would be assassins.
Hope he never sees the outside of the walls
Death sentence in play? Let’s hope.
Routh is a CIA asset/MK Ultra. This was a chronically unemployed loser who, one, could afford to live in Hawaii? Two, afford the airfaire to fly back & forth? Three, maintain living quarters and weaponry in Florida? This is as on the level as Las Vegas and Butler.
The fear of terrible, painful and terminal retribution needs to be inculcated into the minds of Democrats.
Public executions immediately upon judgement, for starters.
