A man accused of plotting to kill Donald Trump at the former president’s Florida golf course pleaded not guilty to all charges, appearing in court in a beige inmate’s outfit. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, looked different from his earlier detention hearing, sporting black glasses and a clean-shaven face.
During the brief hearing, Routh motioned to reporters and audience members before entering a not guilty plea, waiving charges reading, and requesting a jury trial. Federal prosecutors allege Routh attempted to kill Trump and face life imprisonment if convicted on all counts.
