Ryan Routh’s daughter sprinted out of the Fort Pierce, Florida, courthouse on Tuesday after her father was found guilting of attempting to assassinate President Trump.

After a two-week trial, Florida jurors reached a verdict in the federal case against Ryan Routh – guilty on all five federal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and other gun charges.

As the verdict was read aloud, Routh, 59, tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. He tried to commit suicide to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison.

Ryan Routh’s daughter sprinted out of the courtroom and shouted profanities at the media: “Get the f*ck out of my face!”

Last year, federal prosecutors charged Ryan Routh, 59, with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate after he pushed the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.

Routh set up a sniper’s nest in the shrubbery outside the perimeter of Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach.

In the area of the tree line from which Routh fled, agents found a Go-Pro, two backpacks, a loaded SKS-style, 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope, and a black plastic bag containing food.
