Washington, D.C.A new report from the Trump Assassination Task Force claims that during a confrontation with Ryan Ruth, the suspect who is suspected of trying to kill former President Donald Trump, a Secret Service agent fired six shots and missed from a mere five feet away.
Gaps in the security procedure on the day of the attack were also disclosed in the investigation. The golf course was not guarded until Ruth was discovered after camping on the property for 12 hours, despite Secret Service personnel allegedly knowing at 2:30 a.m. that Trump would be playing golf later that day.
Ruth, whose legal team says he has been seeing mental health specialists while in detention, is anticipated to raise an insanity argument when he appears in federal court later today. According to court records, witnesses who saw Ruth prior to his arrest described him as crazy and hallucinating.
In an attempt to portray himself as a kind person, Ruth wrote around 40 letters to different news organizations, according to the prosecution. However, the letters were intercepted before they could be delivered. Investigators also discovered that Ruth was in possession of 18 cell phones, 17 of which were his. The remaining device’s origin and significance are currently being looked into by authorities.
As federal investigators continue to look into the well-known case, the disclosures raise fresh concerns about security flaws and the suspect’s intentions.
