8 weeks ago
A man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course last year has chosen not to testify in his own defense. Representing himself, Ryan Routh on Monday wrapped up his case by questioning a firearms expert and two character witnesses. Prosecutors say he spent weeks plotting to kill Trump. A Secret Service agent testified that he spotted the man and fired, causing him to flee. Routh has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted assassination and assaulting a federal officer. Closing arguments are set for Tuesday.
