The son of the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course on Sunday said his father had traveled to Ukraine and volunteered to provide what the son described as “humanitarian” aid to troops defending the country from Russian forces that invaded in 2022.
A source with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to the Guardian that the suspect in Sunday’s case is 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh – though law enforcement had not officially named him and there was no immediate indication of a motive.
