Trump assassination plot in Florida: Suspect's trial pushed to September 2025

India Today  

ORLANDO, Florida: A man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in South Florida won’t be tried until September 2025. Ryan Routh’s trial will begin from September 8 instead of the previously scheduled February 10, 2025 start date, US District Judge Aileen Cannon said in an order released on Monday. Routh’s attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial until no earlier than next December, saying they needed more time to review the evidence against him and decide whether to mount an insanity defense. Prosecutors say Routh methodically plotted to kill Trump for weeks before aiming a rifle through the shrubbery as Trump played golf on Sept. 15, 2024 at his West Palm Beach country club. Routh’s arrest came two months after Trump was shot and wounded in the ear in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
