Ryan Wesley Routh, the man arrested for an alleged assassination attempt against Donald Trump, previously conducted media interviews about recruiting fighters for Ukraine. This has led to rumors on the far right suggesting he might be connected to U.S. military or intelligence circles. Conspiracy theorists, including Laura Loomer, a prominent Trump supporter, have further fueled speculation, alleging that Routh's connections and public profile were part of a larger plot. Loomer pointed to various coincidences, including Trump's recent portrayal in the media, suggesting deeper coordination. No evidence supports these claims.
