The man accused of trying to kill former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course earlier in September entered a plea of not guilty on several charges.

Ryan Routh, 58, pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and felony weapons charges. Last week, a judge ordered him to remain in jail while he awaits trial, according to court reporters.
