US President Joe Biden says the Secret Service needs more help and may need extra personnel.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says people deserve the truth about how a would-be assassin was able to get so close to Trump.
“Despite his light and smiley demeanour before the hearing began, suspect Routh was expressionless as the court proceedings got underway, almost always answering “Yes, your honour” to the judge’s questions.
Routh was brought into the courtroom just before 10:00 (14:00 GMT) and seated next to a series of other defendants also appearing in court today. During that time, he looked around the small courtroom at the assembled press and others who had come to witness the second man in just two months who has allegedly tried to threaten the former president.
Routh was taken out of the court when other defendants’ hearings began.” – BBC Reporter.
