The moment of arrest

The international media have revealed the moments of the arrest of Ryan Routh by the police, the suspect as the author of a second assassination attempt against the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

He tries to put the pink T-shirt on his head so as not to be seen. The 58-year-old was caught trying to escape, 500 meters from the golf course while driving on the highway near Trump's resort in a Nissan car, on behalf of his daughter.

When asked if he knew why he was being stopped, Routh "answered in the affirmative," authorities said.

Routh appeared in court on Monday, but no state charges have yet been brought against him, for the attempted murder of former President Trump. He was charged in federal court with unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He risks being sentenced to up to 20 years in prison, while the investigations are still ongoing. The FBI, which is leading the investigation, says it "appears to be an assassination attempt."

Reuters news agency reports that according to court documents, phone records show the suspect may have been waiting for nearly 12 hours Saturday near the golf course.

Routh was spotted on Sunday by the Secret Service on the perimeter of a golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was hiding in bushes carrying a Kalashnikov assault rifle with binoculars and a micro camera. The Republican presidential candidate was at the resort he owns to play golf.

Although the former president himself praised the Secret Service for their quick response, thanks to which he was not injured, many questions are raised about the case. It remains to be seen how Ryan Routh managed to find out that Trump was going to play golf on Sunday at his Florida resort, when he himself arranges these activities in secret and at the last minute.

In a later reaction, Donald Trump accused Biden and his rival Harris of inciting violence with their harsh rhetoric that they are using against him in the campaign for the presidential elections on November 5.
