Florida man accused of Trump assassination attempt seeks to act as his own attorney | Crime Alert 6AM 07.15.25

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Ryan Routh, the Florida man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, is seeking to represent himself at trial. During a July 10 hearing, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee — took up the request but has yet to issue a ruling. Prosecutors warn Routh intends to turn the proceedings “into a circus.” He was arrested on Sept. 15, 2024, after a Secret Service agent allegedly spotted him holding a rifle through a fence at Trump International Golf Club, where Trump was playing a hole away.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
