Ryan Routh, the man accused of plotting an attack against former President Donald Trump, reportedly sought to purchase military-grade weapons, including a rocket launcher, from a contact in Ukraine, according to court documents released by prosecutors. Routh was arrested earlier this year and charged with making threats against the former president.
The documents detail communications between Routh and an individual in Ukraine, where Routh allegedly expressed interest in acquiring various weapons. The investigation is ongoing, and officials are working to determine the full extent of Routh's plans and potential accomplices. The severity of the charges reflects the seriousness with which authorities are treating threats against high-profile figures. Routh is currently being held without bail.
