Trial of man accused in Trump assassination attempt in Florida pushed back to September
Briefly

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon ruled on postponing the trial of Ryan Routh for attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump until September 2025, prioritizing fairness given the serious allegations.
Routh's defense argued they needed more time to analyze the evidence and consider an insanity defense, citing the complexity of the case involving numerous electronic devices and hundreds of hours of video footage.
Prosecutors outlined Routh's methodical plotting to kill Trump, including aiming a rifle at Trump while he was golfing, along with details of his subsequent arrest.
Routh, who pleaded not guilty, is facing serious charges, as his actions could potentially lead to life imprisonment for attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.
