Florida man receives life sentence for plot to assassinate Trump at golf course

Ryan Routh was sentenced to life in federal prison for plotting to kill President Donald Trump at a Florida golf course in September 2024, armed with a semiautomatic rifle and lying in wait until confronted by Secret Service agents, then fleeing without firing. Prosecutors sought a life term, noting his lack of remorse, and the sentence follows the campaign-era second assassination attempt on Trump, after a June shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania that killed a rally-goer. Judge Aileen Cannon presided, with officials praising the jury’s ruling; the White House did not immediately comment.

Prosecutors seek life term for would-be Trump assassin on Florida golf course

Federal prosecutors in Florida will seek a life sentence for Ryan Routh, convicted of plotting to kill Donald Trump on a West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024; he fired toward a Secret Service agent but fled after being fired upon; jurors found him guilty on all counts, and sentencing was postponed after he switched lawyers; prosecutors say he showed no remorse and deserves life in prison, while the defense requests a variance to a shorter but still lengthy term; the case follows another attempted Trump assassination nine weeks earlier at a Pennsylvania rally.
