The federal judge overseeing the case of Ryan W. Routh — the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at one of his Florida golf courses earlier this year — has agreed to push back the start of his trial, pointing to the “substantial” amount of discovery materials the case involves.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee who presided over and dismissed the president-elect’s criminal case involving alleged mishandling of classified documents — on Monday granted Routh’s request for a trial continuation in part and agreed to move the start date from Feb. 10, 2025, to Sept. 8, 2025.
