WASHINGTON (AP) — The man accused in the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump wrote a note months earlier saying that he intended to kill the former president.
That’s according to the Justice Department.
The note, addressed “Dear World,” was dropped off at the home of an unidentified person who contacted federal authorities following the arrest last Sunday of Ryan Wesley Routh.
The box, which also contained ammunition, a metal pipe and other items, was not opened by the person until after Routh was taken into custody.
The person who received the box and contacted law enforcement was not identified in the Justice Department’s detention memo Monday.
