Ryan Routh, the alleged second attempted assassin of President Donald Trump, tried to buy a rocket launcher from a Ukrainian associate, according to a new court filing.
It’s unclear whether the associate had any connection to the Ukrainian government or if he or she actually had access to military-grade weapons.
Routh discussed his plans to buy a rocket-propelled grenade or Stinger weapon with a source, whose identity was not revealed in the court filing, in a Signal chat.
“To that end, Routh told his associate to ‘send me an rpg [rocket propelled grenade] or stinger and I will see what we can do…[Trump] is not good for Ukraine,’” the filing said.
Routh asked whether it could be shipped to him and inquired about the price.
