United States: The man who according to federal authorities-points a rifle at Donald Trump as he golfed in West Palm Beach earlier this month-claimed in a letter before he was arrested “this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump and according to the new filling by the federal prosecutors. 

Another of the investigators was informed that Ryan Wesley Routh had delivered a box to his house several months prior, and that the box contained bullets, a pipe, ‘bits and bobs ‘of construction, tools, 4 phones, and letters. The filing also revealed that when the witness received what seemed to be an assassination attempt plot, he opened the box. 

As reported by CNN, one letter addressed to “The World” said: “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you.” To the best of my ability, I gave it my all and the energy I could summon. You have almost burned your fingers, It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer USD 150,000 to whomever can complete the job. 

Trump “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled,” the letter says. Routh, 58, was charged with of two firearm offences last week after joining the Trump International Golf Course. Other more serious charges could still be laid as the probe continues in the case.
