The son of the suspect in the latest attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, Ryan Routh, has been arrested on charges of possessing child sexual abuse material, according to a report.
Oran Routh’s home was searched Saturday by the FBI during an investigation into the Trump assassination attempt, during which federal agents discovered “hundreds” of files of child sexual abuse material, according to ABC News.
Ryan Routh has been charged with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number after an incident that occurred at the Trump International Golf Club in an apparent assassination attempt on the Republican presidential candidate.
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster,” Ryan Routh reportedly said in a letter.
