A jury has been seated for the high-profile federal trial of Ryan Routh, a North Carolina man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in 2018. Prosecutors allege that Routh, who had previously met Trump, made threatening comments and brought an AR-15 rifle to the country club before being restrained by security guards.
