Trump assassination attempt suspect ‘tried to buy rocket launcher from Ukraine’

A man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club said the president was “not good for Ukraine” and tried to buy a rocket launcher.

Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to purchase a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) from someone he believed to be a Ukrainian arms dealer one month before allegedly attempting to kill Mr Trump.

Mr Routh communicated with someone he believed had access to the military via an encrypted messaging app.
