Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pursues an attempted murder case and life in prison against Ryan Routh, 58, after the Trump assassination attempt suspect was arrested Sunday.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would like to see an attempted murder charge brought against failed Trump assassination suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, which he noted carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Routh, 58, has been charged federally with possessing a gun with a scratched-out number and with possessing a gun illegally as a felon, though more serious charges are likely pending.
The governor assigned Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to investigate the assassination attempt against former President Trump on Sunday. DeSantis said Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecution may have a stronger case than the federal government.
Florida is conducting an independent investigation into the incident while federal authorities pursue their own. 'In addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination attempt came to be,' DeSantis said. 'I don't even know that the club is open yet. I think they open in October.
