The man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Florida golf course left behind incriminating evidence, the Justice Department revealed Monday.

A detention memo claims Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, had a premeditated plan to kill Trump. Authorities discovered a handwritten list of Trump's appearances and a box of materials, including ammunition and a note, suggesting Routh intended to complete his mission with deadly resolve.
