4 days ago 11

The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Trump laughed and smiled ahead of his first court appearance in Florida on Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh, wearing jail scrubs and shackles on his wrists and ankles, walked into court and smiled and laughed about three to four times as he was speaking to his court-appointed attorney before the hearing began, Fox News observed. No cameras were permitted inside the federal courtroom for the appearance regarding charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
