According to Jeffrey Veltri, special agent in charge of the Miami field office, the bureau received information that Routh, a felon, was in possession of a firearm, Newsweek reports.

The Florida governor claimed that federal authorities were refusing to "cooperate" with a state investigation.

Another public defender has been added to the federal criminal case against the man suspected of trying to kill former President Donald Trump, according to court documents. Ryan Wesley Routh is accused of pushing the muzzle of an AK-style rifle through the fence perimeter of a Florida golf course the former president was on Sunday.
