Overview

• Judge Aileen Cannon ordered strict courtroom conduct for Ryan Routh, warning marshals would act on any sudden movements and requiring business attire and use of a podium.
• A 33-page exhibit list unsealed Tuesday outlines photos of Routh with the rifle model found at Trump’s club, messages including a request for a “missile launcher,” a chat about sniper concealment, and internet searches on gunpowder residue and Secret Service responses.
• Cannon approved the display of a disabled rifle, empty magazines, live rounds and shotgun shells as trial evidence, to remain under continuous FBI control.
• Routh will represent himself with standby counsel after pleading not guilty to attempted assassination, assault on a federal officer and firearms charges, with opening statements scheduled for Sept. 11 and the court reserving up to four weeks for trial.
• In fresh filings, Routh proposed a round of golf with the president to settle the case and sought unusual accommodations; the judge limited his subpoenas, rejected a justification defense, and called some requests absurd.
