Man Representing Himself in Trump Assassination Case to Call Three Witnesses: Himself, Putin, and Epstein
According to cellphone records, Ryan Routh sent messages to his family declaring his love shortly before an alleged assassination attempt on President Trump at his Florida golf course. Prosecutors presented their case, focusing on Routh’s alleged planning and actions, including aiming a rifle at the president. Routh, representing himself, plans to present his defense, calling a few witnesses and the possibility of testifying. The trial’s pace has been faster than anticipated, with closing arguments expected Tuesday and the jury beginning deliberations afterward. The suspect had a history of criminal activities and previous threats prior to the incident.
