Donald Trump's would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, began stabbing himself in the neck with a pen on Tuesday after being found guilty on all charges related to the September 2024 attempt on the then-candidate's life. After the verdict was read, Routh began jabbing at his neck with a pen. Routh's son, Adam Routh, was also spotted leaving the courtroom after the guilty verdict. 'This attempted assassination was not only an attack on our President, but an affront to our very nation itself.' The attempt occurred on September 15, 2024, just nine weeks after Trump survived another attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania.
