Trial for Trump Assassination Attempt Suspect Delayed to 2025
Ryan Routh's trial for attempting to assassinate President-elect Trump is now set for September 2025 due to requests for additional time by his defense.
Overview
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has delayed the trial of Ryan Routh, accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, from February to September 2025. Routh's defense requested the delay to review extensive evidence, including hundreds of hours of video and numerous electronic devices. The judge emphasized the need for adequate time, but deemed the defense's request for a December start excessive. Routh faces serious charges including attempted assassination, which could lead to a life sentence. He is currently held without bail pending trial.
