Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced the state's intention to seek a warrant for Ryan Routh, the suspect who attempted to assassinate then-President-elect Donald Trump at his golf course in September.

While Florida initially worked with federal authorities, they ultimately pursued state charges for state law violations after the DOJ refused to cooperate.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced the state will seek a warrant for Ryan Routh , the man who wanted to assassinate now-President-elect Donald Trump at his golf course in September. Moody has told the DOJ many times that the state wanted to charge Routh since his escape led to an accident that injured a six-year-old girl.

And so we continued to reach out with the federal government, explain to them to need to pursue these charges, explain to them that we were doing this to provide justice to this six year old little girl. And again they responded we should not bring charges, we should not investigate further, and they would not provide us with informatio
