The state of Florida charged Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Trump at one of his Florida golf courses, with attempted felony murder, Florida Attorney General\u00a0Ashley Moody\u00a0<\/a>announced Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charge stems from Routh\u2019s attempt to escape law enforcement following the alleged assassination attempt. Moody said that when Routh fled the scene, law enforcement shut down traffic, which caused an accident that nearly killed a young girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs a result of that, we felt compelled to seek justice on her behalf and her family that will never be the same as they cope with her injuries,\u201d the state attorney general said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In her announcement, Moody said state law enforcement received a \u201clack of cooperation and support\u201d from federal officials investigating the alleged assassination attempt. She accused them of blocking access to the crime scene, evidence and witness interviews, and said when the state expressed interest in charging Routh over the girl\u2019s injuries, it was discouraged from doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt was made known that they intended to shut down our investigation and invoke federal jurisdiction in doing so,\u201d she said, adding that Florida authorities decided to continue their investigation regardless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Routh is accused by federal prosecutors of plotting to kill Trump as he golfed earlier this year, staking out the perimeter of the president-elect\u2019s course near its sixth hole for about 12 hours until he was noticed and fled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He faces five charges, including counts saying he attempted to assassinate a major political candidate while possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number despite being a convicted felon, and has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
