FBI Tainted Evidence in Trump Attempted Assassination Case, Ryan Routh’s Attorneys Say
‘It may have been impossible for the defendant to commit the alleged crime if the firearm was defective, inaccurate, or had a limited range…’
On Feb. 25, defense attorneys for alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh visited the FBI to inspect the physical evidence against their client, including the rifle Routh was allegedly going to use against the President.
But according to the defense attorneys, the FBI disassembled Routh’s rifle after recovering it near Trump’s Florida golf course last September.
“The scope, black tape, brackets, and paper/plastic tubing were all removed from the rifle. Defense counsel does not know the exact circumstances surrounding the removal of these items from the scope, as those items were apparently boxed separately from the rifle and not made available for our evidence view,” defense attorneys Kristy Militello and Renee Sihvola said in a Friday court filing.
