According to the court documents, President Trump was engaged in golf at his club in Western Palm Bich, Florida, when an agent by the US Secret Service noticed the man’s face in the bush around the perimeter of property. Later the man was identified as Ruth.
According to federal prosecutors, Raut quit the agent, and the witness saw him running across the road to Black Nissan Xterra. Local law enforcement agencies detained him later at an interstate 95.
Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigations have discovered a semi -automatic SKS rifle with volume and an expanded magazine in the area where Ruth hid.
They also found documents with a list of events where Trump appeared, or expected to appear in the coming months. According to law enforcement agencies, another witness said that Ruth left the box in his home month before, included a note that partially read: “It was an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, but I’m sorry I brought you up.”
At the time, Trump played golf but did not contact Ruth.
The government has accused Ruta of attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate who owned firearms in the field of violence, attacking a federal officer, a crime with firearms and ammunition, as well as storage of firearms with a consistent number.
Last year, Ruth did not find himself guilty. He went to prison in Florida, waiting for a trial.

The trial will take place in the same federal court where President Trump himself has been charged with allegedly preserving classified documents from the first term in the White House. This case ended up after Trump was re -elected.
Judge Elin Kenon, who oversee the Trump case and eventually rejected it, will also be presided over by Ruta’s court. In the first term, Trump appointed Judge Kenon to the federal bench.

In a letter to the trial, he said that “it was ridiculous from the very beginning to consider a random stranger who knows nothing about who I was saying for me.”
He also said that he and his lawyers were “one million miles apart” and that they did not answer his questions.
Judge Kenon will allow Ruta to represent himself, but said to him, “I urge you not to make this decision.”
She advised that the availability of a lawyer would be “much better” and ordered the legal lawyer to remain in standby.
