A federal judge in South Florida has ruled that the trial for a man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump will be postponed until September 2025. The defendant, a 58-year-old Hawaii resident named Ryan Routh, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The trial, initially scheduled to begin in February 2025, has been rescheduled to start on September 8, 2025, as per the order issued by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. Routh's defense team requested the trial delay to allow more time for reviewing the extensive evidence against him and considering a potential insanity defense.
