NEW: Ryan Routh Pleads Not Guilty to Attempted Assassination Charges
Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh pleaded not guilty to federal charges stemming from his attempted assassination against President Trump.
Routh’s arraignment on Monday lasted less than five minutes according to ABC News.
Federal prosecutors last Tuesday charged Ryan Routh with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate after he pushed the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, was assigned to oversee the case.
Ryan Routh was previously charged with two federal gun crimes: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession (max penalty of 15 years in prison and $250,000 fine), and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number (max penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine).
