Attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh to be sentenced Wednesday
Ryan Routh, convicted in 2025, faces life imprisonment for plotting to kill Trump in 2024 to disrupt the presidential election, prosecutors say.
- U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will preside Wednesday in Fort Pierce as prosecutors ask for a life sentence for Ryan Routh, convicted of attempting to assassinate Trump.
- Prosecutors say Routh sought military-grade weapons, including an RPG, and framed his actions as protests tied to Ukraine and U.S. politics.
- Secret Service agent Fercano testified he spotted Routh and opened fire, causing him to drop an SKS-style rifle with scope and flee in a black Nissan Xterra, where officers found multiple cell phones, a list of flights, armor plates, and extra ammunition.
- Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice asked for life, citing Routh as unrepentant and a threat, while defense attorney Martin L. Roth seeks a decades-long variance and a seven-year gun term.
- Routh represented himself at trial and, as the verdict was delivered, tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen, prompting officers to restrain and shackle him, leading the judge to move sentencing after he accepted counsel.
