The daughter of 59-year-old Ryan Routh, who was convicted on Tuesday of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign, stormed out of the courtroom after the verdict, cursing at the press and making threats.
The drama came after Routh was found guilty of all charges against him, and seemingly tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen several times before four U.S. Marshals restrained him.

“Don’t do anything. I will get you out,” Sara Routh said. “What the f—. F—. He didn’t hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged — you guys are a–holes.”
She stormed out of the building, telling the media to “go away” and “get the f— out of my face.”
