A man has been charged with attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a golf club in Florida. Ryan Wesley Routh is accused of plotting to kill the Republican nominee while he was playing at a West Palm Beach golf course earlier this month. Authorities allege that Routh staked out the golf course for 12 hours and expressed his desire to kill Trump. Initially, he faced two federal firearms charges, but these have been upgraded to reflect the Justice Department's view that he had methodically planned the assassination attempt. Reports indicate that Routh aimed a rifle through the shrubbery surrounding the golf course on a day when Trump was present.
