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.

Life sentence for would-be Trump assassin tied to Florida golf course plot

Ryan Routh, 59, was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September 2024. Found guilty last year, he fled after a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle; investigators later recovered a semiautomatic rifle at the hiding spot along with a note about the attack. The judge called the crime warranting a life sentence, and Routh plans to appeal after choosing to represent himself during trial. The Florida case followed a July 2024 shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, the second attempted attack on Trump that year.

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.
