4:14Now PlayingRyan Routh, the man charged with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at one of his Florida golf courses last year was given clearance by a federal judge Thursday to represent himself in his upcoming trial.
Routh appeared in a Fort Pierce, FL courtroom a day after his court-appointed attorneys asked to be removed from the case. The judge ruled that Routh's court-appointed attorneys must remain on standby and denied their request to be withdrawn.
Prior to allowing Routh to represent himself, the judge told him that his court-appointed attorneys "will defend you far better than you can defend yourself" and "I strongly urge you not to make this decision."
Routh is charged with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, assaulting a federal officer and multiple firearms violations for the Sept. 15, 2024 incident in Florida, the second attempted assassination plot against Trump in a matter of months. He has pleaded not guilty.
LiveNOW's Andy Mac spoke about the trial with FOX News' Olivianna Calmes.
