He made these requests in Signal messages on his phone revealed by prosecutors in an admission of evidence request. In one message, Routh stated that he needed the weapons to prevent Trump from being re-elected, saying he was "not good for Ukraine." The messages also included an image of Trump’s plane, which Routh said Trump “gets on and off daily.” Routh, a 59-year-old from North Carolina, has been charged with plotting to assassinate Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024.

Trump from being re-elected, saying he was "not good for Ukraine."
“Going to the local store for such an item is impossible – however you are at war so those items [are] lost and destroyed daily -one missing would not be noticed,” he said in another message.
The messages also included an image of Trump’s plane, which Routh said Trump “gets on and off daily.” Routh, a 59-year-old from North Carolina, has been charged with plotting to assassinate Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024.
