A federal jury convicted a man of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course in 2024. Ryan Routh, 59, was found guilty of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. According to reports, after the verdict was read, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen before authorities stopped him. During the trial in Fort Pierce, Florida, prosecutors argued that Routh had spent several weeks planning to kill Trump. They said Routh was excessively stalking Trump and that he made 17 separate trips to Trump’s golf course before the incident last year.
