A man who authorities say spent 12 hours camped outside Donald Trump's golf course before the U.S. Secret Service spotted him with a rifle pleaded not guilty on September 30 to federal charges, including attempted assassination. Ryan Wesley Routh, who was known as an active supporter of Ukraine’s military in its defense against Russia’s invasion, appeared briefly in the federal court in West Palm Beach days after a grand jury handed down a five-count indictment stemming from what appears to have been the second attempt on Trump's life since July. Routh has been arrested over 100 times – many of which were because of traffic violations – and his travels to Ukraine and Taiwan show that he’s able slip across borders.
