A federal magistrate judge has made a ruling in the case of Ryan Routh, who is facing charges related to two firearms offenses allegedly connected to an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The judge, Ryon McCabe, stated that after a thorough three-hour hearing, he found the evidence against Routh to be substantial and compelling.

One key piece of evidence mentioned by the judge was a letter that Routh purportedly wrote detailing the assassination attempt. Additionally, prosecutors presented information indicating that Routh's fingerprint was found on tape used to attach a scope to a rifle discovered near the golf course where the incident was said to have taken place.
