Authorities Missed Multiple Warnings About Trump Assassination Suspect

Federal agencies received at least four tips about Ryan Routh's violent behavior and intentions but failed to act decisively.

Chelsea Walsh, a nurse in Ukraine, reported Ryan Routh's violent behavior and assassination plots to U.S. authorities in 2022.
Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, had been flagged to the FBI, State Department, and Homeland Security multiple times.
Reports included concerns about Routh's military recruiting tactics, possession of firearms despite felony convictions, and erratic behavior.
Federal agencies either did not respond, have no record of the reports, or questioned whether the tips warranted further investigation.
Routh's criminal history includes arrests for firearm possession, theft, and threats of violence, raising questions about oversight and vigilance.
