On Monday, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, the suspect in Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club, appeared in federal court. Prosecutors say Routh spent nearly 12 hours lying in wait with a rifle before a Secret Service agent fired on him, scuttling his plans to shoot at Trump. This is U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Markenzy Lapointe.
Markenzy Lapointe: “Routh was charged federally with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.”
Markenzy Lapointe is the first Haitian American to serve as a U.S. attorney.
