Man charged in apparent Trump plot wrote ‘This was an assassination attempt,’ court filing shows

The man charged in connection with an apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Florida this month dropped off a box at a person’s home that included a letter that declared, “This was an assassination attempt,” a court document revealed Monday.

The note came to light in a U.S. District Court filing asking that Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, be held in pre-trial detention.

Law enforcement was contacted by a civilian on Sept. 18 who said that Routh had dropped off a box at his residence several months prior, the filing said. The witness opened the box after learning of the Sept. 15 incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

One handwritten letter addressed to “The World” said: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you.”
