Ryan Routh, the man charged over attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last September, told a federal judge Thursday he wants to represent himself at trial.
Prosecutors say Routh, 59, was in the brush with a rifle as Trump played golf at his Florida club on September 15, 2024. A Secret Service agent spotted Routh before Trump came into view. Authorities say Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing him to flee. The suspect did not fire a single shot.
