Investigators revealed that Routh had been in Florida since Aug. 18. His phone’s location data showing multiple visits to areas surrounding Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
Routh is charged with five federal offenses, including the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate and assault on a federal officer, along with gun crimes. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.
A federal judge ordered him to stay behind bars, and his defense team requested a jury trial.
Prosecutors revealed that Routh had written about his plans to kill Trump in a letter. He offered $150,000 to anyone who could “finish the job.”
In July, Trump escaped an assassination attempt while giving a speech at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from atop a warehouse, narrowly missing Trump’s head and causing him to bleed from his ear.
Crooks was shot and killed by a counter-sniper team.
