(AP) — The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty of all counts on Tuesday. The jury of five men and seven women found Ryan Routh guilty on all counts that he was facing after about two hours of deliberation. Following the verdict, Trump told reporters in New York that the case was "really well handled." Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X that the guilty verdict "illustrates the Department of Justice's commitment to punishing those who engage in political violence." Recounting what happened at the golf course, a Secret Service agent testified earlier in the trial that he spotted Routh before Trump came into view.
