Summary of Bombshell letter revealed from Trump assassination suspect
The video discusses the upcoming court appearance of Ryan Ruth, the suspect in a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. Ruth is set to appear in federal court where a judge will decide on his bail status. New information has emerged, including a letter written by Ruth, which he reportedly described as an assassination attempt on Trump. This letter was discovered by a civilian who found it along with ammunition in a box that Ruth had previously dropped off at their home.
Key Points
- Ruth had a detailed plan, evidenced by his possession of multiple cell phones, two license plates, and a travel itinerary that included looking up Trump’s locations and a recent trip to Mexico.
- He has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, which could lead to a combined maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Federal prosecutors are considering additional charges.
- The letter is seen as a manifesto, clearly stating Ruth's intentions and motivations, which some commentators argue eliminates any ambiguity regarding his motives.
- There is speculation about whether Ruth has attempted similar actions in the past, as he refers to a failed attempt in the letter.
- The House has passed a bill to enhance Secret Service protection for presidential candidates, which is now moving to the Senate.
The discussion highlights the premeditated nature of Ruth's actions and the potential for more severe charges based on the evidence presented.
