Former AG Bill Barr says DOJ's decision to release letter penned by Trump's would-be assassin Ryan Routh serves 'no purpose other than to risk inciting further violence.'
EXCLUSIVE - Former Attorney General William Barr says he is 'dumbfounded' that the Justice Department released a chilling letter penned by would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh on Monday, calling the decision 'rash' and serving no purpose 'other than to risk inciting further violence.' Routh is the suspect in former President Donald Trump's second foiled assassination attempt.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Routh will likely face additional charges in the coming days, which could include aggravated assault for allegedly pointing the rifle at a Secret Service agent and making threats against a former president, State Attorney Dave Aronberg previously told Fox News Digital.
