WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State, Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for illegally concealing records on Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect charged in the second assassination attempt of President Trump.
On September 17, following the second assassination attempt of President Trump, AFL launched multiple government-wide investigations into the Biden-Harris Administration’s records regarding the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh.
Given Routh’s criminal history and reported foreign activities, there is significant reason to believe he was an individual of interest to the U.S. government and that pre-existing government records may have existed.
To determine what the Biden-Harris Administration knew about Routh and the danger he posed to President Trump, AFL filed urgent requests for information from the Department of State, DOD, DOJ, and DHS. Despite meeting the legal requirements to be granted expedited processing, AFL has not received any communications or records from these agencies.
Obtaining the Biden-Harris Administration’s records on the suspect charged in the second assassination attempt is critical to ensure the safety of President Trump and provide transparency to the American people.
Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director:
“The American people have every right to know what the federal government knew about Ryan Routh. There is simply no possible way that a man who traveled to foreign battlefields and recruited foreign fighters to engage in war was not on the federal government’s radar. We look forward to providing the American people with important details about the man who has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump,” said Gene Hamilton.
