A big revelation has been made about the person who tried to kill Trump. The name of the arrested suspect is Ryan Routh.
What did Ryan Routh say?
In fact, Ryan Routh had said in an interview with the ‘New York Times’ in 2023 that he wants to recruit Afghan soldiers who have escaped from the Taliban for Ukraine. He had said that he plans to take them illegally to Ukraine through Pakistan and Iran. He also said that dozens of people have shown interest in this. Routh is a critic of former President Trump. According to the report of ‘New York Post’, Routh has a long criminal record in North Carolina and he often shares posts on matters related to politics. According to the report, Routh has been donating to the candidates of the Democratic Party since 2019.
Trump was attacked for the second time
Meanwhile, it should also be told here that this is the second fatal attack on Donald Trump. Nine weeks before this incident, a gunman opened fire on Trump during an election rally on July 13 in Pennsylvania. In this attack, a bullet had passed through Trump’s right ear.
What happened
Regarding this entire incident, Special Agent in Charge Rafael Barros in Miami said in a press conference that the ‘Secret Service’ agent opened fire on a gunman present near the boundary of ‘Trump International Golf Club’ in West Palm Beach.
