Republican nominee Donald Trump further escalated his long-running bid to discredit federal law enforcement by accusing agencies on Monday of mishandling the investigation of last week’s apparent assassination attempt and demanding Florida officials take over the case.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, a convicted felon, traveled from North Carolina to South Florida with a semi-automatic rifle in mid-August to carry out the attempted execution of the former president at Trump International Golf Club on Sept.

A five-count indictment reflect the Justice Department's assessment that he methodically plotted to kill the Republican nominee, aiming a rifle through the shrubbery surrounding Donald Trump's West Palm Beach golf course on an afternoon Trump was playing on it.

Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who authorities say staked out Donald Trump for 12 hours on his golf course in Florida and wrote of his desire to kill him, was indicted Tuesday on an attempted assassination charge.

Prosecutors say Ryan Wesley Routh kept in his car a handwritten list of venues in August, September and October at which Trump had appeared or was expected to be present.

The federal judge who presided over — and threw out — the criminal classified documents case the Justice Department brought against Donald Trump is now set to oversee the case into the latest apparent assassination attempt against the former president.

Prosecutors seeking to keep Ryan Routh locked up say he offered a $150,000 reward to anyone who could "complete the job" if he failed.
