Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has just announced major charges against would-be assassin Ryan Routh, who tried to assassinate President Trump on Florida soil last year.
Uthmeier says they had to fight through major roadblocks put up by the Biden administration, but thanks to AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, they can now charge Routh with attempted murder and terrorism charges.
Here’s the announcement:
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
