Man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump pleads not guilty to federal charges

Ryan Routh's arrest came two months after Trump was shot in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania

A man who authorities say spent 12 hours camped outside Donald Trump’s golf course before Secret Service spotted him with a rifle pleaded not guilty on Monday to federal charges including attempted assassination.

Ryan Wesley Routh appeared briefly in the federal court in West Palm Beach days after a grand jury handed down a five-count indictment stemming from the second attempt on Trump’s life since July.
