Ryan Routh was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison plus seven years following his 2024 assassination attempt against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump<\/a> at his West Palm Beach golf club in Florida.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sentencing comes after Routh was convicted last September<\/a> on five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and multiple firearms offenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors pushed for the 59-year-old to get a life sentence, while Routh\u2019s attorney, Martin Roth, asked the judge for 20 years in prison on top of a seven-year, mandatory sentence for one of the gun convictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Routh’s sentencing in Fort Pierce, Fla., had initially been scheduled for December, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed to move the date back after Routh decided to use an attorney during the sentencing phase instead of representing himself as he did for most of the trial.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Routh spent weeks plotting to kill Trump before aiming a rifle through shrubbery as the then-Republican presidential candidate played golf on Sept. 15, 2024, at his West Palm Beach, Fla., country club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Routh\u2019s trial,<\/a> a Secret Service agent helping protect Trump on the golf course testified that he spotted Routh before Trump came into view. Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing Routh to drop his weapon and run away without firing a shot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
