The failed-Trump assassin won’t be going anywhere any time soon after a federal judge ruled this morning that he must remain held in custody.
Here’s more from Fox News:
A federal judge on Monday ordered Ryan Routh, the man accused in connection with an assassination attempt against former President Trump earlier this month, held in custody.
Magistrate Judge Ryon McCabe granted the government’s request to detain Ryan Routh pending the resolution of these charges during a court hearing in Florida.
Prior to the hearing, the Justice Department asked the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida to keep Routh in pretrial detention. McCabe said federal prosecutors met its burden and the weight of the evidence was strong.
Routh has been charged federally with possessing a gun with a scratched-out number and with possessing a gun illegally as a felon, though more serious charges are likely pending.
Routh will likely face additional charges in the coming days, which could include aggravated assault for allegedly pointing the rifle at a Secret Service agent and making threats against a former president, State Attorney Dave Aronberg previously told Fox News Digital.
I was watching Kerri Urbahn on Fox News talk about the letter which Routh wrote months ago and was released this morning and Urbahn makes the point that Routh was so broke that he had to be assigned a public defender. Based on this she wants to know where this $150K was supposed to come from, especially if he was either dead or in prison. Is he legitimately crazy or did he have access to this money somehow?
