As Twitchy reported Tuesday, a new bombshell dropped about would-be Donald Trump assassin Ryan Routh: In court documents, the Justice Department revealed that Routh tried to buy military weapons from Ukraine to kill then-candidate Trump, including a rocket launcher. Routh told the Ukrainian military that weapons get lost “all the time on the battlefield” and no one would miss them.
On Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that his office was — finally — charging Routh with the attempted first-degree murder of Trump. Uthmeier said the charge comes after 206 days of stonewalling that stemmed from the Biden administration.
Today, my office is officially charging Ryan Routh for attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump.
Thanks to the leadership of @AGPamBondi and @FBIDirectorKash, we now have a federal government willing to work with the states to pursue justice. pic.twitter.com/HFuI2W4tdx

Thank you AG Uthmeier. I’m glad you added the t*rrorism charge.
Routh will be going away for a long time.

Justice delayed is still justice served—
But the delay speaks louder than the verdict.— RARE BREED (@RareBreedClub) April 10, 2025
Congratulations. You’re right on top of it… nearly 9 months later.

You think he acted alone?
Think again.

This took far too long. He should have been charged the same day.

Florida does not play nice with TDS.

Get to the bottom of it. I suspects others were involved and it’s highly unlikely he acted alone.

That’s incredible…
It only took since Sept. 15, 2024 to file charges against an individual who tried to assassinate our now President Trump.

Uthmeier thanks Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel for finally making this happen.
