A federal judge has ruled to keep Ryan Routh in custody following his alleged involvement in an assassination attempt against former President Trump. Magistrate Judge Ryon McCabe granted the government's request to detain Routh until the charges are resolved during a court hearing in Florida.
The Justice Department had petitioned the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida to hold Routh in pretrial detention, citing strong evidence against him. Routh currently faces federal charges for possessing a firearm with a scratched-out serial number and for illegal possession of a gun as a felon.
