The federal criminal complaint against Ryan Wesley Routh, who attempted to assassinate former President Trump on Sunday, offered more details about Routh’s failed attempt.
Notably, Routh landed at the golf course two hours after midnight Saturday and waited for his chance to murder Trump, the complaint alleges.
The complaint also offers more details about Routh’s weapon and other equipment he would use to attack Trump.

The complaint, filed by an FBI agent, says a Secret Service agent was walking the perimeter of the Trump International Golf Club at about 1:31 p.m., where Trump was playing a round with a donor. The agent spotted “what appeared to be a rifle poking out off the tree line,” the complaint says.
The agent fired his or her weapon, and as The New American reported earlier today, a “witness saw a male, later identified as ROUTH, fleeing the area of the tree line and entering a Nissan sport utility vehicle. The witness then observed the Nissan leave the area at a high rate of speed.”
The complaint says agents “found a digital camera, two (2) bags, including a backpack, a loaded SKS-style, 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food.”
The FBI agents wrote that the rifle’s serial number was “obliterated,” and concluded that the rifle “previously traveled interstate or foreign commerce.”
The complaint includes photos of the rifle and other items.
