DOJ Reveals Routh’s Chilling Letter Offering a Bounty for Trump’s Death [WATCH]

Federal authorities have revealed chilling details about Ryan Wesley Routh’s failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump, showcasing just how far some will go to target the former president.

Routh, 58, not only admitted his failure but even offered a $150,000 bounty to anyone who could “finish the job.” This shocking revelation comes from a letter obtained by the Department of Justice and first reported by Daily Mail.

The letter, addressed to “the world,” stated, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job.” Routh also took a jab at Trump’s handling of foreign policy, particularly his decisions regarding Iran, saying the former president’s actions “unraveled the Middle East.”

Routh’s sinister plans unraveled after a Secret Service agent spotted him lurking in the brush near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Positioned near the sixth hole, Routh aimed his rifle at Trump, who was playing one hole behind. Fortunately, the agent intervened, firing at Routh, who fled the scene.

After a brief chase, authorities were able to track down Routh using a partial license plate number from his vehicle. Inside his car, they found incriminating evidence, including six cell phones, a detailed list of Trump’s upcoming public appearances, and a Google search for a route from Palm Beach to Mexico—clearly, Routh was preparing an escape plan.

More unsettling details emerged when investigators found a notebook filled with notes about Ukraine and phone numbers tied to discussions about joining combat there. He also criticized the governments of China and Russia, adding another layer of complexity to his motivations.

Months before the assassination attempt, Routh left a box at a witness’s residence containing a letter announcing his plans to kill Trump. In this letter, Routh bluntly stated, “I failed you… now it is up to you.” Alongside the letter, investigators found ammunition and other suspicious materials, painting a disturbing picture of a man bent on violence.

Routh’s failed attempt isn’t just a cautionary tale of extremist actions but also a reflection of the growing threats against political figures.

As reported by Fox News, he is set to face a federal judge, with additional charges looming, including aggravated assault for aiming a rifle at a Secret Service agent. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already indicated that Routh’s crimes should land him behind bars for life.
