Florida prosecutors foreseeed to ask that would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh remain arrested at US court hearing on Monday.
The man accemployd in the apparent murder finisheavor of createer US Pdwellnt Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida left behind a notice saying that he intended to end the political honestate and kept in his car a handwritten enumerate of dates and venues where Trump was to materialize, the Justice Department has shelp.
The novel allegations were included in a detention memo filed ahead of a hearing on Monday at which the Justice Department was foreseeed to dispute that 58-year-elderly Ryan Routh should remain locked up as the case shifts forward.
The details are unbenevolentt to buttress prosecutors’ stateions that Routh is a menace to disclose defendedty and has a premeditated set up to end Trump, a plot officials say was thwarted a week ago by a Secret Service agent who spotted a rifle poking out of shrubbery on the West Palm Beach golf course where Trump was percreateing.
The notice was placed in a box dropped off months earlier at the home of an unidentified person who did not discdiswatch it until after Routh’s arrest on September 15. The box also compriseed ammunition, a metal pipe, originateing materials, tools, phones and various letters.
One notice, insertressed “Dear World”, materializes to have been premised on the idea that the murder finisheavor would be unprosperous.
“This was an murder finisheavor on Donald Trump but I flunked you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will recommend $150,000 to whomever can end the job,” the notice shelp, according to prosecutors.
An attorney for Routh did not instantly react to an email seeking comment Monday morning.
Travel enrolls
Phone enrolls cited by the Justice Department show Routh travelled to West Palm Beach, Florida from Greensboro, North Carolina in mid-August, and that he was cforfeit Trump’s golf club and the createer pdwellnt’s Mar-a-Lago dwellnce “on multiple days and times” between August 18 and the day of the apparent finisheavored murder.
He was arrested after a Secret Service agent who was scoping the Trump International Golf Club for potential security menaces saw a partipartner ununderstandnd man’s face, and the barrel of a semiautomatic rifle, aimed straightforwardly at him. The agent fired at Routh, who sped away before being stopped by officials in a neighbouring county.
The Secret Service has shelp Routh did not fire any sboilings and never had Trump in his line of sight.
The Justice Department also shelp on Monday that authorities who searched his car set up six phones, including one that showed a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico.
They also set up a enumerate with dates in August, September and October and venues where Trump had materializeed or was scheduled to, according to prosecutors. A noticebook set up in Routh’s car was filled with criticism of the Russian and Chinese rulements and notices about how to unite the war on behalf of Ukraine.
The detention memo also cites a book authored by Routh last year in which he lambasted Trump’s approach to foreign policy, including in Ukraine. In the book, he wrote that Iran was “free to assassinate Trump” for having left an international nuclear deal.
Routh is indictd with illegpartner owning his firearm in spite of multiple serious crime convictions, including two indicts of owning stolen excellents in 2002 in North Carolina, and with owning a firearm with an obteachdd serial number. More solemn indicts are possible in the weeks ahead.
