News summary

Former President Donald Trump met with Martin County sheriff's deputies at Mar-a-Lago, where he was gifted the handcuffs used to arrest Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in an assassination attempt against him. Routh, a convicted felon, was apprehended after he was spotted with a rifle near Trump's golf course, having allegedly been in the area for nearly 12 hours prior to the incident. He faces federal charges for firearm possession, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis indicated that state charges could follow as they conduct their own investigation. During the meeting, Trump expressed gratitude to law enforcement, stating, 'I’m still here,' after the foiled plot. This incident marks the second assassination attempt against Trump in two months, raising concerns about the effectiveness of his security detail. Routh, who had criticized Trump online and supported Ukraine, is currently held at a federal detention center with his next court hearing scheduled for the upcoming Monday.
