Judge who threw out Trump's classified docs case will oversee second assassination attempt case

The federal judge who threw out former President Trump's classified documents case will preside over the case involving the second assassination attempt on Trump in West Palm Beach, Fla.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, was randomly assigned the case on Tuesday following a grand jury five-count indictment against Ryan Routh, the suspect in the Sept. 15 incident at the Trump International Golf Club.

Routh was charged with attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, assault on a federal officer, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime, being a felon in possession of a firearm and possessing a firearm with a destroyed serial number.
