Trump blasts Biden-Harris admin for giving 'slap on the wrist' to would-be assassin Ryan Routh—says Florida should 'handle the case'

President Donald Trump sent an email to supporters on Monday, stating that he was appalled by the "slap on the wrist" given to Ryan Routh, a man who camped out near Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, armed with a long rifle and scope, in hopes of assassinating the 45th and potentially 47th president. It was the second attempt on Trump's life in just two months, with the first coming in Butler, PA on July 13. That shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service after he fired several rounds. One clipped Trump on the side of the head, taking a chunk out of his ear, while the others killed one man and injured two others.

"The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July," Trump wrote in an email to supporters. "The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponized Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency." Routh was charged with two federal gun counts. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to do a state-level investigation and said that the charge of attempted murder would be on the table. DeSantis has said that it's absurd for the FBI, which is also prosecuting Trump, to be tasked with investigating the violence against him.

"From Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Iran, Iran, Iran, Impeachment Hoax Number One, Impeachment Hoax Number Two, to the Lawless Documents Hoax brought after an Illegal and unConstitutional Raid of my home, on which I am suing the DOJ for their wrongful acts, to the January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., where the J6 Unselect Committee illegally deleted and destroyed all Documents, the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, illegally Spying on my Campaign, to censoring the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell, which was criminally led by the fake 51 Intelligence Officials who lied and claimed it was 'Russian Interference and Disinformation,' while the Laptop was, in fact, Hunter Biden – Not Russia, and exposed Crooked Joe and his family for their decades of grift - and many lawless, Radical attacks against their Political Opponent, ME," Trump said, rattling off the many instances of the government and Democrats targeting him since before he won the 2016 presidential race.

"The DOJ and FBI have a Conflict of Interest since they have been obsessed with 'Getting Trump' for so long," he said. "It’s very difficult to trust the Biden/Harris DOJ/FBI to investigate the assassination attempts, due to Election Interference and the FAKE CASES brought against me, including their control over local D.A.s and A.G.s. Shockingly, after the bullet went through my ear on that fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania, the FBI Director went before Congress and falsely said that it may not have been a bullet, 'It was just glass or shrapnel' - a lie condemned by even my worst enemies. What he said was disgraceful, especially since it was witnessed LIVE by millions of people, and he was forced to immediately retract," Trump said, referencing Christopher Wray's comments, which were contradicted by his own staff.

"If the DOJ and FBI cannot do their job honestly and without bias," Trump continued, "and hold the aspiring assassin responsible to the full extent of the Law, Governor Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida have already agreed to take the lead on the investigation and prosecution. Florida charges would be much more serious than the ones the FBI has announced. The TRUTH would be followed, wherever it leads. OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND DISCREDITED, especially as it pertains to the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. LET FLORIDA HANDLE THE CASE!"
