Daughter of Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Routh calls trial ‘rigged’
four right here on local ten news. >> And right now the defense has rested in the trial for the man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump at his Florida golf course. >> Ryan Ruth is acting as his own attorney, presenting his own case. Local towns Christina Vasquez is in Fort Pierce with what happened in court today. Christina I spoke to the defendant’s daughter, who described watching her father through these proceedings as, in a word, tough. >> My father is a really a really great man, Sarah. >> Ruth and her brother Adam in Florida from Hawaii, attending their father’s federal trial in Fort Pierce. >> Be there for our father and support and stand behind him. >> And we will always support our father, no matter what. And he’s my best friend, always will be, and I’ll always be there for him. What’s your name? >> Austin. >> Ryan. Ruth is accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump last year, just outside. >> Five shots fired and hit her on the bush with a gun. >> When the then presidential candidate was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. >> All units be advised it looked like an AK 47 style assault rifle pointed through the fence onto the golf course. >> The prosecution painting the picture of a man who methodically plotted it doesn’t seem like he disputes that he was there, that he had planted himself on a fence line near where the president was golfing. If he had a rifle with him, what was his intent, if not to shoot? I’m not going to speak on that. >> But that’s, uh, I’m not going to speak about that. I don’t know anything about it. >> Ruth. A 59 year old former construction worker who decided to represent himself. >> My father is just getting shut down every thing he says struggled Monday when it came time to mount his own defense. >> At times, his mouth slightly agape with furrowed brows and apparent confusion as the federal judge worked to keep his questions for his three witnesses. With in the bounds of the Federal Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure. What is it like for you to watch him kind of struggle through that process? >> It’s obviously, uh, hard for us to watch the court turn him down on everything he has to say. >> And any questions he has for his own witnesses. >> Do you think he will regret his decision not letting the public defender’s assigned to him, who are familiar with the rules of procedure and evidence in federal court, actually stage his defense? >> Um, I don’t believe he really had a choice. >> They, uh, they were not very adequate. I don’t think they would have done a better job. >> The judge even warning him, moving forward with character witnesses Ruth hoped would show a jury he is kind and caring, would open the door to prosecutors being able to present additional evidence on cross that he was not. It was not anything like they’re making it out to be in the least bit. Ruth chose not to take the stand in his own defense. Why would he put himself at that in that position? >> You know, that would be stupid. >> You watched your father there rest his case. What does it look like for him? >> I got to wait and see. >> It’s all up to the jury and I think if anybody has a heart in that jury, they’ll. >> They’ll know that my father doesn’t deserve to run prison for the rest of his life. Closing arguments are scheduled for tomorrow
Sara Routh and her brother Adam flew in from Hawaii to Fort Pierce on Monday to support their father, Ryan Routh, during his federal trial.

Im not gonna speak on the fact that he was there with a rifle to kill trump?!typical lib moron cant face the truth!
Was it rigged or did the man attempt to assassinate the president?
Hes a lunatic 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇲🇺🇲
I don't care if he had the same lawyers as oj he wansnt getting off
All the mf that agree or try to protect people like this should be locked up right beside them
I feel bad for this woman.
"Represent himself". So no lawyer was willing to get him off. The left is delusional.
Is she on meth?
I hope the FBI keep an eye on his daughter
Sarah's getting her 15 minutes of fame.
As SOON as she said "Uhhh, I'm not gonna comment on that question AND, I didn't know anything about it!".., She lost all respect from me and I didn't watch the rest of the video from there!…Period…….
Low IQ family.
He has no defense he was there for one thing and he got caught, now he can pay the price.. she's just being a good daughter loves her dad no matter what..
Welp, that's tough. Don't be a terrorist
Yikes. Maybe head back to Hawaii…
Only psychos defend themselves
She thought her leftist lunatics were going to help her get out of this assassination. She’s real mad that they didn’t. She’s in deep denial that her dad is a psycho. She should’ve tried to talk to him about getting or letting a lawyer help him. But it looks like mental illness runs in the family.
Trailer park trash
HOPE HE ROTS ……SHES STUPID…MOLESTED
A Great man!?! Omg She’s just as delusional as her Father …..come on! 🤦🏾♀️
Dog
You can visit him In prison
O boy 🤦♂️
I think maybe she needs to be watched for a while… I think we see crazy is genetic
The family is special you can see.
This is what happens when you try and harm our president of the united states.
Bye bye
Her dad wrote a letter saying he was going to assassinate Trump. Talk about Bias ignorance
She just wants someone to blame and she's too much of a coward to blame the one responsible. Her father.
I mean your dad is a idiot. How could you not talk him into getting a lawyer knowing he’s facing criminal charges to shoot the president what kind of idiot does that?
She knew about it. When asked her face gave it all away. She seems mad as though it was her plan that didnt work. Screams guilty.
this is so funny watching a girl defend, that scumbag haha
A kind and caring person doesn’t kill people.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’ve had public defenders that I didn’t pay a dime work better for me than a lawyer I had to pay $5,000. Your father is an ignorant human being thinking he can represent himself in attempting to assassinate the president. Intelligence in the whole family is lacking.
Rotting in prison the rest of his life: ✅
She’s doing the Newsom dance ☝️💩
The only sad thing is that he missed
Daughter" yes he was sitting in the bushes and yes he had a gun" reporter "why would he be hiding in the bushes with a gun?" Daughter " uhmmm! I'm not going to speak to that!" REALLY!!! GOOD LORD.
Sara Routh is such a beautiful and strong Woman.
Her father can be proud of her.
Her best friend tried to kill the former president. Her dad tried to kill the former president. She is right about one thing. Her father doesn't need to rot in prison for the rest of his life, he just needs to rot in there until he gets executed…….
Shes a meth addict imo… Also, lots of mental illness here
