Routh is currently in custody as the suspect linked to an alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. According to the FBI, Routh was reportedly found hiding with a rifle and scope near Trump&#8217;s golf course in Florida during what appeared to be an assassination attempt on Sunday. However, he did not discharge the weapon and was not positioned to hit Trump, as reported by the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Hamilton, executive director of America First Legal, stated that &#8220;in just a few months,&#8221; there have been two assassination attempts against Trump and emphasized that the public deserves access to information about Routh based on media reports concerning him. Following these events at Trump&#8217;s golf course, it has come to light that Routh has strong pro-Ukrainian sentiments amid Ukraine&#8217;s ongoing conflict with Russia. He criticized Ukraine for its strict regulations regarding foreign soldiers while expressing support for Afghan veterans fighting alongside Ukrainians.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton further noted that it is unusual for someone to travel to an active war zone like Ukraine and attempt to recruit others without some level of government awareness. The organization aims to uncover what U.S. authorities knew about Routh given his criminal background\u2014which includes violent offenses\u2014and his previous self-published book suggesting Iran could assassinate Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Routh has described Trump negatively in his writings related to Ukraine\u2019s conflict and other political issues. The America First Legal Foundation believes this history indicates he may have been monitored by U.S. authorities due to his actions related both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>The group is requesting information from various federal agencies including Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Defense (DOD), State Department, USAID, and the Office of National Intelligence regarding Routh\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>Currently facing two gun-related charges\u2014one for illegal possession due to prior felony convictions in North Carolina and another for having a firearm with an obliterated serial number\u2014Routh remains in custody<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2342208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Trump-and-the-media-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[32502,39628,4053],"class_list":["post-2342207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-biden-administration","tag-legal-group","tag-pro-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Trump-and-the-media-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
