Judge Aileen Cannon set a schedule on Tuesday for Ryan Routh‘s court proceedings that positions his trial start date in mid-November, when a jury is set to decide if he is guilty of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
Cannon scheduled the trial to begin in federal court in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Nov. 18, two weeks after Election Day.
Routh is facing five charges stemming from his alleged attempt to kill Trump this month while the former president was golfing at Trump International Golf Club. Routh staked out at the perimeter of the golf course with a loaded semiautomatic rifle, but Secret Service agents spotted him before he could take a shot at Trump, according to authorities.
