Ryan Routh was found guilty of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on a Florida golf course last year. A Secret Service agent thwarted the attack by firing a shot at Routh, who was apprehended shortly after. The two-week trial concluded with a guilty verdict on all counts, followed by a courtroom incident where Routh attempted self-harm with a pen. He faces life in prison and still faces state charges. Trump commented that justice was served. Routh, who represented himself, claimed he didn't intend to kill anyone.
