Ryan Routh, 59, has been convicted of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The incident occurred on September 15 of last year when a rifle was spotted protruding from the bushes at the golf course where Trump was present.

This event followed a separate assassination attempt weeks earlier, during which a bullet grazed Trump's ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Routh faced five charges related to the incident and chose to represent himself in court. Despite his not guilty plea, he was found guilty on all counts after a trial in Florida.

Routh now faces a potential life sentence for his actions. The case has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the former president and the serious nature of the charges. Further details about the trial and sentencing are expected to emerge as the story develops.
