Federal prosecutors say Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump as he golfed last September during the 2024 campaign, also attempted to acquire an anti-aircraft weapon to shoot down Mr. Trump's plane.
In a filing Monday, the government said that in August, "Routh sought to purchase the devices online from an associate Routh believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military weapons."
Routh allegedly told an associate to "'send me an rpg [rocket propelled grenade] or stinger and I will see what we can do,'" according to the court document.
