Read Trump would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh's chilling letter offering $150,000 to anyone who could 'finish the job

Donald Trump's would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh reportedly wrote a chilling letter admitting he failed in trying to take the life of the former US president.

In the letter addressed to the ‘’World,'' Routh also offered $150,000 for anyone who could 'finish the job' according to the note released by the Department of Justice on Monday and obtained by Daily Mail.

'This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,' the letter reads.

‘Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest knows that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less U.S. president. U.S. presidents must at the bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring, and selfless and always stand for humanity.’

The DOJ revealed that Routh wrote the letter months ago and left it in a box at someone’s home, alongside ammunition and a metal pipe. The recipient, who remains unnamed, handed the materials over to authorities after Routh was identified as a suspect in the assassination attempt.

Routh, 58, also had a list of Trump's upcoming public appearances and had googled a route from Palm Beach, Fla., to Mexico.

He is set to appear in federal court on Monday for a detention hearing after the attempted assassination on September 15 at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

Ahead of that appearance, federal prosecutors submitted a written factual proffer with new details about the day Routh tried to assassinate Trump on his West Palm Beach golf course. 

After the agent fired, a witness saw Routh run across Summit Boulevard toward a black Nissan Xterra, bearing a Florida license plate, parked nearby.

The witness took photographs of the Nissan Xterra and wrote down all but the last digit of the license plate number. Using that information, local law enforcement was able to find the vehicle and arrest Routh.

In the vehicle, law enforcement found six cellphones, one of which 'contained a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico.' 

Also in the vehicle were 12 pairs of gloves, a Hawaiian driver's license in Routh's name, and a list of Trump's public appearances for August, September, and October.

Additionally was a notebook with 'dozens of pages filled with names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine, discussions about how to join combat on behalf of Ukraine, and notes criticizing the governments of China and Russia.'

Routh’s arrest occurred after Secret Service agents spotted an AK-style rifle near where Trump was playing golf in West Palm Beach. The suspect fled the scene after dropping his weapon but was later apprehended by Martin County deputies. He has since been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, with additional charges likely as the investigation unfolds.
