'Dear World, I Failed You': Trump Assassination Bid Suspect Wrote Letter Detailing Plans

New Delhi: man accused in apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida left behind a te saying that he intended to kill former president and maintained in his car a handwritten list of dates and venues where Trump was to appear, Justice Department said Monday.

new allegations were included in a detention memo filed ahe of a hearing Monday at which Justice Department was expected to argue that 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh should remain locked up as case moves forward. details are meant to buttress prosecutors' assertions that Routh h set out to kill Trump before plot was thwarted by a Secret Service nt who spotted a rifle poking out of shrubbery on West Palm Beach golf course where Trump was playing.

te, dressed “Dear World," was placed in a box that was dropped at home of an unidentified person who contacted law enforcement officials after last Sunday’s arrest. It appears to have been based on premise that assassination attempt would be ultimately unsuccessful.

box, which also contained ammunition, a metal pipe, and or items, was t opened by person until after Routh was taken into custody. person who received box and contacted law enforcement was t identified in Justice Department's detention memo.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all gumption I could muster. It is up to you w to finish job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete job,” te said, according to prosecutors.

An attorney for Routh didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment Monday morning. Authorities who searched his car found six cellphones, including one that showed a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico.

y also found a list with dates in August, September, and October and venues where Trump h appeared or was scheduled to, according to prosecutors. A tebook found in his car was filled with criticism of Russian and Chinese governments and tes about how to join war on behalf of Ukraine.

Cellphone records indicate he traveled to West Palm Beach from Greensboro in mid-August, and that he was near Trump’s golf club and former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence “on multiple days and times” between August 18 and day of apparent attempted assassination."
