Would-be Trump assassin could be charged with attempted murder of 6-year-old girl

Attorney General Ashley Moody intends to bring Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump in September, to trial in state court for attempted felony murder of a six-year-old girl.

Routh is awaiting his federal trial in a Miami prison. Moody announced Wednesday morning in Stuart that the Florida Highway Patrol had obtained a state arrest warrant stemming from the girl’s injury in a car crash after police shut down I-95 in Martin County when they stopped Routh.
