Ryan Routh sentenced to Life in Trump assassination attempt

Ryan Routh, the man convicted of trying to assassinate Donald Trump just weeks before the 2024 US election, has been sentenced to life in prison. The 59-year-old was found guilty last September on five charges, including attempted assassination, after representing himself at trial. Prosecutors said Routh lay in wait with a semi-automatic rifle. The sentence was handed down on Wednesday by US District Judge Aileen Cannon in Fort Pierce, Florida.
