Ryan Routh, suspected of a scheme to assassinate President Donald Trump while he was running for office last year, reportedly tried to buy a rocket launcher at that time.
Reports confirm that the Department of Justice has revealed Routh was trying to get “military weapons” from Ukraine at the time he allegedly was involved in the assassination scheme, which ultimately failed.
He’s accused of claiming that Trump would be “bad” for Ukraine, and that weapons of war get lost “all the time.”
The issue over whether Ukraine knew of the scheme, and whether anyone is the United States was warned, is “absolutely massive.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

According to a report at Fox News, Routh allegedly told an associate “send me a rpg [rocket-propelled grenade] or stinger, and I will see what we can do… [Trump] is not good for Ukraine.”
The details come from court documents in the case.
Amid discussions about the possible purchase, Routh said, “I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected.”
Further, prosecutors explained Routh sent his “associate” an image of President Trump’s plane, and said, “Trump’s plane, he gets on and off daily.”
The case also now includes a 13-page motion claiming police used “impermissibly suggestive” tactics when interviewing witnesses.
“They claim the witness felt pressured to identify Routh because of the intense atmosphere created by the presence of multiple law enforcement agencies,” the report said.
Authorities charge that the plot had been planned for months. Routh is accused of hiding at the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach with a rifle, backpack and shopping bag, both of which contained plates that could stop small arms fire.
Prosecutors also charge he tried to buy a .50 caliber sniper rifle at the time.
After he concealed himself at the golf course, he was spotted by Secret Service agents, before Trump approached.
When confronted, he fled, leaving behind his rifle, and he was arrested miles away.
