Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been arrested in connection with an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which involved shots being fired near Trump's golf club in Florida. Routh was seen hiding in bushes and is alleged to have been armed with an AK-47, prompting Secret Service intervention.
