The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Trump laughed and smiled before his first court appearance in Florida on Monday.
Ryan Wesley Routh, wearing a prison uniform and shackles on his wrists and ankles, walked into the courtroom and smiled and laughed about three or four times as he spoke to his court-appointed attorney before the hearing began, Fox News noted. No cameras were allowed in the federal courtroom for the arraignment on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
