Man found guilty of attempted assassination in plot to kill Trump

A man found lurking with a gun near Donald Trump’s Florida golf course last year was found guilty Tuesday of attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media.
A jury found that Ryan Routh, 59, intended to kill Trump, then a former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate, when he pointed a rifle through a fence while Trump was golfing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
He was also found guilty on the four other charges he faced, including impeding a federal agent and weapons offenses. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Routh appeared to try to stab himself with a pen several times after the verdict was revealed in court and had to be restrained by U.S. marshals, according to U.S. media reports. His daughter Sara also yelled in court that her father had not hurt anyone and she would get him out of prison.
