A US judge has postponed the trial of the suspect in the second assassination attempt on President-elect Donald Trump until September 2025, according to a court order.
Lawyers for the suspect, Ryan Routh, asked for a delay to the scheduled Feb. 10 trial date, citing the large volume of evidence in the case.
Based in Florida, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed to a delay but called the defense request “excessive.” Cannon scheduled the case to go to a grand jury on September 8, 2025.
Routh, 58, faces five federal charges, including attempted murder of a major presidential candidate. He is accused of positioning himself with a gun near a golf course owned by Trump in Florida in September with the intention of shooting the Republican during the presidential campaign.
The suspect pleaded not guilty.
Cannon, who is overseeing the case, is the same judge who presided over the now-collapsed criminal case accusing Trump of illegally keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving the White House in 2021.
When will Donald Trump be inaugurated as President of the United States?
