Trial of Trump Assassination Attempt Suspect Delayed to September 2025

Ryan Routh, accused of targeting President-elect Trump at a Florida golf course, awaits trial as defense weighs insanity plea.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon rescheduled Ryan Routh's trial to September 8, 2025, citing the need for more time to review evidence.
Routh, 58, has pleaded not guilty to charges including the attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, which carries a potential life sentence.
The defense team is considering an insanity plea and has until February 3, 2025, to make a decision on this strategy.
Prosecutors allege Routh planned the attack for weeks, aiming a rifle at Trump during a golf outing in West Palm Beach before being spotted by a Secret Service agent.
Routh was apprehended shortly after fleeing the scene and has been held without bail in a federal jail in Miami since his arrest.
