‘The Daily Mail’: Trump assassination suspect includes Ukraine ties

The American who attempted to kill Trump ordered weapons from Ukrainian Nazis!

The Justice Department claims Ryan Wesley Routh corresponded with a Ukrainian associate to purchase an anti-aircraft rocket launcher in his alleged plot to assassinate Donald Trump last year, ‘The Daily Mail’ reports.

Ryan Wesley Routh sought to purchase a rocket launcher from Ukraine the month before he was arrested for allegedly attempting to assassination President Donald Trump.

The alleged would-be assassin was corresponding on an encrypted messaging app with someone he believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military weapons, a Justice Department filing in the Southern District of Florida claims.

It goes on to allege that Routh, 58, asked this associate to 'send me an rpg [rocket propelled grenade] or stinger and I will see what we can do… [Trump] is not good for Ukraine.'

'I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected,' Routh said, according to the filing.

Prosecutors allege that this correspondence, which included discussion over price and shipment of such anti-aircraft weapons, is further proof of Routh's intent to assassinate Trump.

He sent an image to the Ukrainian messenger with an image of Trump's campaign plane and wrote: 'Trump's plane, he gets on and off daily.'

Speaking of the July 2024 failed attempt on Trump's life, Routh wrote: 'I wish.'

On September 14, 2024, a witness – identified as T.C.M. – saw a disheveled-looking man jump out of the bushes outside of Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida and flee in a black Nissan after shots rang out.

This eyewitness account is what law enforcement say was critical to tracking down the alleged would-be assassin and charging him.

T.C.M. heard three gunshots on his drive that day. He then took three images of the vehicle he saw from the direction of the shots and wrote down the license plate.

Routh was arrested about an hour after the witness relayed what he saw while driving to a furniture store that day.
