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

Florida Judge Ryon McCabe has ruled at a hearing that Ryan Routh, a suspect in the Florida assassination of former President Donald Trump, will remain in custody while his case is heard. The judge found that the evidence presented by prosecutors was sufficient to support the continued detention of Mr. Rouse, who was charged in his initial court appearance with two firearms-related offenses, including possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an erased serial number. Prosecutors said Rouse could also face charges of assaulting a Secret Service agent and threatening a former president. Florida Governor DeSantis said Rouse should be sentenced to life in prison.
