Overview
A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has delayed the trial of Ryan Routh, accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump, from February to September 2025. Routh's defense requested the delay to review extensive evidence, including hundreds of hours of video and numerous electronic devices. The judge emphasized the need for adequate time, but deemed the defense's request for a December start excessive. Routh faces serious charges including attempted assassination, which could lead to a life sentence. He is currently held without bail pending trial.
