During the trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Browne had told jurors that Routh had “traveled on 17 separate occasions to scope out the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach,” excessively stalking Trump’s activities and location for weeks prior to his assassination attempt from a “sniper’s nest” on September 15, 2024 – just two months after Trump was shot in the ear by a different man at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
