An alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was foiled near his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was apprehended on a Florida highway following the incident. Despite the serious nature of the allegations, Routh's son has publicly stated that his father, who reportedly harbors a strong dislike for Trump, has never owned a gun and he finds the accusations hard to believe. The Secret Service confirmed the incident, detailing a tense moment when an individual allegedly aimed an AK-47 at Trump.
The former president has since assured the public of his safety and vowed to 'never surrender'.
