Even Trump still holds the Biden administration responsible for the apparent second assassination attempt on life earlier this month, there has been a disturbing development to the case that contradicts this sentiment.
In a new filing, federal prosecutors have now shared that Ryan Wesley Routh had previously written a letter weeks ago that explicitly stated: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.”

A witness allegedly told investigators that Routh had left at a box at his house months prior to the incident and it “contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.”
The filing revealed that the witness didn’t open the box until after the supposed assassination attempt. The most shocking piece of evidence was a letter that was in the box and was addressed to “The World.”
It stated: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”
Routh also wrote about how Trump “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.” The suspect, 58, was charged with two firearm offenses last week after allegedly running away from the Trump International Golf Course.
Prosecutors has said that Secret Service agent fired at Routh after observing a rifle sticking out of the tree line several holes ahead of where Trump was playing golf on September 15.
Authorities also stated that Routh was seen by a witness running away from the scene and driving off. This is the second time someone has apparently tried to kill Trump—and in both cases the suspects were white, Republican men. However, Trump still blamed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the danger he has found himself in.
“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out,” Trump recently told Fox News Digital.
