Ryan Routh, the man convicted of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump in September 2024, was sentenced to life in prison by a federal judge on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon handed down the sentence nearly five months after a jury found Routh guilty of all five counts related to the failed assassination plot.

Ryan Routh was sentenced on Wednesday for attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump while he played golf at his Florida country club in 2024.

Left-wing podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan said they believe Trump's assassination attempt was staged, with Welch quipping she was embracing "BlueAnon" conspiracies.
