Donald Trump Jr. has publicly condemned the Department of Justice following the release of a letter reportedly written by would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh, which offers a bounty for the killing of former President Donald Trump.

The letter, which surfaced after a failed assassination attempt on Trump, offers $150,000 for successfully completing the act, and the Biden DOJ is taking heat for publicizing its contents, as Breitbart reports.

Routh’s letter, which was sent to a witness months ago, has drawn significant attention for its brazen content.

The witness reportedly did not open the package containing the letter until after the failed assassination attempt on Sept. 14. The letter’s release by the DOJ has sparked a wave of criticism, particularly from Trump’s family.

Routh’s Letter Details Failed Assassination Plot

In the letter, Routh expresses regret over his unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Trump, saying, "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you." He continues by offering $150,000 to anyone who can carry out the assassination, stating, "I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job."

The letter not only details the assassination attempt but also contains scathing remarks about the former president’s character. Routh claims Trump is "unfit" for the presidency, further criticizing his moral character by asserting that U.S. presidents should represent "the moral fabric that is America" and embody kindness and selflessness.

Trump Jr. Slams Biden Administration for Release

Trump Jr. reacted furiously to the letter’s release, taking to social media to express his frustration with the Department of Justice under the Biden administration. "WTF!? Why is Kamala’s DOJ publicizing Ryan Wesley Routh putting a bounty on my dad’s head???" he wrote, accusing the DOJ of mishandling the situation.

Trump Jr. and his supporters have suggested that the timing of the letter's release is suspicious, pointing out that the DOJ has been slow to release similar documents in other cases. This has raised questions about why this letter was made public so soon after the failed assassination attempt.

Florida Takes Over Investigation Amid Federal Foot-Dragging

Meanwhile, the state of Florida has launched its own investigation into the assassination attempt. Spearheaded by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody, the state’s inquiry comes in response to alleged violations of Florida law related to the assassination plot.

DeSantis has been vocal about the lack of federal cooperation in the investigation. He criticized the federal government’s reluctance to assist, stating, "This guy, Ryan Routh, committed potential violations of Florida law. 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 governor has assigned the case to Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecutor, ensuring that the state will conduct its own thorough examination of the events.

Questions Raised Over DOJ’s Timing

The release of Routh’s letter by the Biden-Harris DOJ has drawn scrutiny, with critics like Donald Trump Jr. questioning the motivations behind it. In previous cases, the department has been known to withhold similar manifestos or documents from the public. The relatively swift release of Routh’s letter has fueled concerns that the department may be acting with political motives.

This criticism comes at a politically charged time, as Trump remains a central figure in U.S. politics and is actively campaigning for the 2024 presidential election. Trump’s supporters view the letter’s release as an attempt to further damage his image in the public eye.

Potential Legal Ramifications for Routh

As Florida takes charge of the investigation, legal consequences for Ryan Wesley Routh could extend beyond his failed assassination attempt. Florida law may impose severe penalties if Routh is found to have violated state statutes in connection with his plot against the former president.

DeSantis and his team have promised a comprehensive investigation, aiming to uncover all the details surrounding Routh’s actions. With the federal government’s cooperation still in question, Florida is determined to pursue justice through its own legal avenues.

Calls for Transparency and Justice

Amid the fallout from the letter’s release, both Trump’s supporters and critics are calling for transparency in the investigation. While Trump’s allies demand accountability from the DOJ, others argue that Routh’s letter should be fully scrutinized for the sake of national security.

The investigation will likely face challenges, given the strained relationship between the federal government and Florida authorities. However, both sides agree on the importance of addressing the serious threat posed by Routh’s letter and the failed assassination attempt.

As the investigation continues, the release of this letter has sparked a broader debate about the DOJ’s transparency and its role in handling politically sensitive cases.
