Ryan Routh, the man that authorities say tried to shoot and kill President Donald Trump at his Florida Golf Course, has been denied bail, according to details in a court filing from federal prosecutors calling for Routh to remain in jail through a trial.
In addition, the FBI has revealed that Routh had in his vehicle a list of dates and venues where the former president had appeared or was expected to appear, and a cellphone that showed searches of how to get from West Palm Beach to Mexico.
The FBI said in the filing that Routh, left a handwritten letter with a man months before, addressed "Dear World," that said: "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster."
Routh was charged with two federal firearms offenses. Trump was not harmed after an agent spotted Routh’s face in the brush, and a rifle along the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club on Sept. 15.
