The suspect in the second apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump in as many months was charged in federal court on Monday morning with two gun-related crimes, as urgent investigations began into how he was able to get so close to the former US president.
As the US continued to react in shock to the latest apparent attempt on Trumps life, the Republican presidential nominee added to the already tense atmosphere around the US election campaign by making highly inflammatory remarks, explicitly blaming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for inciting the attack and calling them the enemy within?.
Ryan Wesley Routh wore dark-blue prison scrubs in the courthouse and shackles on his hands and feet. He sat quietly for about five minutes with no visible signs of nerves before marshals led him back out to await his hearing. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and with having a gun with an obliterated serial number probably just preliminary charges to allow authorities to keep him in custody while additional charges are brought.
Cellphone records showed Routh camped out near the golf course for about 12 hours, with food, before being confronted by a Secret Service agent. The Associated Press reported that in court documents unsealed on Monday, officials said Rouths phone was shown near the tree line at Trumps golf course from 1.59am until 1.31pm on Sunday, around which point a Secret Service agent shot at him after seeing his rifle through the foliage.
Later, Ronald Rowe Jr, the US Secret Service acting director, said Routh did not fire any shots. Rowe said that once an agent detected Routh armed with a rifle, the agent discharged their firearm before the 58-year-old fled.
He did not fire or get off any shots at our agent, Rowe said. With reports of gunfire, the former presidents close protection detail immediately evacuated the president to a safe location.
Rowe also told reporters that Trump was out of sight of the gunman during his unscheduled visit to the golf club.
The protective methodologies of the Secret Service were effective yesterday,Rowe added.
Trump, meanwhile, announced that he blamed the president and vice-president for the shooting, because they have criticized him as a threat to democracy following his attempt to overturn the 2020 election result.
Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country both from the inside and out, Trump told Fox News Digital.
These are people that want to destroy our country, he added. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat.
