A US judge has ruled that Trump's "attempted assassination" suspect will remain in custody while his case is being heard

On the 23rd local time, Florida Judge Ryan McCabe ruled at a hearing that Ryan Routh, a suspect suspected of assassinating former President Trump in Florida, will continue to be detained during the trial of the case. The judge found that the prosecution provided sufficient evidence to support the continued detention of Routh. Previously, Routh was charged with two gun-related offenses in his first court appearance, including possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an erased serial number. Prosecutors revealed that Routh may also face charges of assaulting Secret Service agents and threatening the former president. Florida Governor DeSantis said Routh should be sentenced to life in prison.
