Ryan Routh is scheduled to appear for a pre-detention hearing.
Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump, has had his first appearance in federal court.possessed a list that included dates from August to October of venues where Trump had appeared or was expected to be -- and is suspected to have traveled near the golf course where the incident took place and Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort multiple times in the month leading up to his arrest, prosecutors said in a detention filing on Monday.
Agents further found "a notebook with dozens of pages filled with names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine, discussions about how to join combat on behalf of Ukraine, and notes criticizing the governments of China and Russia." Routh was allegedly 300 to 500 yards away from the former president and did not fire a shot, according to investigators. Trump was not in Routh's line of sight, according to the Secret Service.
Investigators further revealed that three days after they arrested Routh, a civilian witness contacted them with information that Routh had dropped off a box at their residence several months ago that contained "ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.
In the book, which ABC News has unearthed following Sunday's incident, Routh directed an apology toward Iran, apparently for his previous support for Trump, who withdrew the U.S. in 2018 from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal with Iran.
