Fox News
Suspected would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh will now face state charges in the Sunshine State after Florida officials said they were stymied by the Biden Justice Department.
Uthmeier said the charges come after officials in Florida said they were previously stymied in their investigations by the Biden Justice Department, which claimed jurisdiction. That led to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signing an executive order days after the Sept. 15 incident, authorizing state agencies to pursue charges such as attempted murder, which could carry a life sentence.
