Donald Trump Jr. expressed outrage at the Justice Department under the Biden-Harris administration after a letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, detailing an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, was made public.

The letter, which allegedly placed a $150,000 bounty on Trump's life, has sparked a national controversy, with Trump Jr. decrying its release by the federal government, as Breitbart reports.

Routh’s letter reportedly outlined the attempt on Trump's life and offered money for anyone who could successfully carry out the plot. The letter was addressed to an unnamed witness who only discovered the contents after the failed assassination attempt earlier this month. This letter allegedly confirmed Routh’s role in the assassination attempt and included instructions for others to “finish the job.”

Details of the Assassination Plot Emerge

The contents of the letter have caused significant concern, particularly due to its explicit details. Routh admitted to the assassination attempt, expressing remorse for his failure. He wrote, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you.” In a separate passage, Routh offered $150,000 to any individual who could complete the assassination.

Routh's letter also criticized Trump's ability to lead, stating that the former president was unfit for office. “Everyone across the globe from the younger to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president," he wrote. "U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity.”

Florida Launches Its Own Investigation

The letter has triggered multiple investigations. While the federal authorities under the Biden-Harris administration have not cooperated with local efforts, Florida has begun its own inquiry. Gov. Ron DeSantis stated that Routh's actions could be in violation of Florida state law and warranted further investigation.

“This guy, Ryan Routh, committed potential violations of Florida law,” DeSantis said. “So, we have a duty to investigate this. We have a duty to bring the appropriate charges, and we also have a duty to inform the public about how this happened.”

The case has been assigned to the Office of Statewide Prosecutor under Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, underscoring Florida’s commitment to pursuing the matter independently of federal authorities.

Concerns Over Federal Involvement

One of the major points of contention in this situation is the role of the federal government. Donald Trump Jr. voiced his frustration on social media, criticizing the Justice Department for releasing the letter. In a tweet, he wrote, “WTF!? Why is Kamala’s DOJ publicizing Ryan Wesley Routh putting a bounty on my dad’s head???”

This release of information has raised questions about why the Justice Department would disclose such sensitive details. Trump Jr.’s concerns echo sentiments from others who are calling for more accountability from federal authorities.

Federal Authorities’ Delayed Response

One of the most controversial aspects of this story is the apparent delay by the Biden-Harris administration in releasing this kind of manifesto. Critics have pointed out that similar documents from suspects in other high-profile cases were slow to be made public. The decision to release Routh’s letter now has only intensified scrutiny of the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

The release of Routh’s letter contrasts sharply with other situations in which the federal government withheld similar documents, leading some to question the timing and rationale behind making this information public.

DeSantis Calls for Accountability

DeSantis has been vocal about the need for transparency and cooperation between federal and state authorities. He emphasized Florida's commitment to investigating the matter fully, despite what he described as a lack of cooperation from the federal level.

“This is not just about Florida,” DeSantis said, “but about ensuring that justice is served in this case.” The governor’s statements highlight the tension between state and federal agencies as the investigation progresses.

Florida’s Legal Strategy Moving Forward

As Florida continues its investigation, Attorney General Moody’s office will be tasked with determining the next steps in prosecuting Routh, if applicable, under Florida law. The state has indicated that it will seek charges if the investigation uncovers sufficient evidence of criminal activity.

At the same time, the state’s inquiry will aim to provide the public with more information on how this assassination attempt unfolded and what measures were taken to prevent it from succeeding.

Controversy Surrounding the Assassination Attempt

The failed attempt on Trump’s life is not the first time the former president has been the target of such threats. However, the involvement of Routh, combined with the explicit details in his letter, has elevated this case to a national level.

Florida's involvement and the lack of federal cooperation have only added to the complexity of the investigation. As the inquiry continues, questions remain about why the federal government has been so reluctant to assist in a case involving a high-profile former president.

Conclusion

Donald Trump Jr. has publicly criticized the Biden-Harris Department of Justice for releasing a letter from Ryan Wesley Routh that detailed an assassination attempt on his father, Donald Trump.  The letter, which offered a $150,000 bounty for Trump's life, has led to multiple investigations, including one in Florida led by Governor Ron DeSantis.

Despite the state’s efforts to investigate, DeSantis has expressed frustration over the lack of cooperation from federal authorities.  As both state and federal agencies continue to examine the case, the public awaits further developments on this serious assassination plot.
