"McGreevy drew on data from Routh's cell phoneshe had six of themand surveillance camera video to track Trump's movements. The agent testified that the accused moved between Mar-a-Lago, Trump's golf club, the airport where the president keeps his plane and a truck stop where Routh was living in his SUV. The FBI agent said that during that time, "He was living at that truck stop, conducting physical and electronic surveillance and stalking the former President.""
"McGreevy also detailed Routh's alleged purchase of the SKS-style rifle seized at the golf course by federal agents and his attempt to buy a more powerful weapon. According to McGreevy's testimony, Routh sent a text to his girlfriend in Hawaii, asking, "How many bullets does an SKS rifle hold? An AK-47 can shoot to 500 meters. I have to get to 400.""
A Secret Service agent fired after seeing a rifle barrel through a fence at the property's edge and the gunman fled without firing. FBI agent Kimberly McGreevy detailed evidence tracking Ryan Routh's movements a month before Sept. 15, 2024, drawing on data from six cell phones and video. Routh allegedly moved among Mar-a-Lago, Trump's golf club, the airport where the president keeps his plane, and a truck stop where he lived in his SUV, conducting physical and electronic surveillance and stalking. McGreevy outlined an SKS-style rifle purchase and Routh's attempt to buy a more powerful weapon, including texts about range and ammunition. Routh is representing himself and plans to call a firearms expert and two character witnesses.
