The man accused of attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump at a Florida golf course in September last year has been found guilty of all federal charges.

Ryan Routh, 59, was convicted on all five counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and firearms charges.

Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty on all charges.

Officers quickly swarmed him and dragged him out of the courthouse.

The Florida jury returned its verdict in less than three hours, marking the end of the two-week trial.

Routh, who represented himself in court, faces life in prison.

A sentencing date is yet to be set. Loading
