On day five of Ryan Routh’s federal trial, jurors heard from prosecutors who presented evidence they said connected Ryan Routh’s clothing and belongings to the alleged sniper’s nest at Trump International Golf Club during the alleged assassination attempt last year.
FBI Special Agent Jose Loureiro walked jurors through photos they argue tie Routh’s clothing to the scene. Images showed Routh in a long-sleeve pink shirt, pants and leggings. Prosecutors highlighted a red stain on the pants and compared it to red paint on a bag recovered at the sniper hide, suggesting a direct link between the defendant and the site. They also displayed a blue Harbor Freight flashlight recovered from the area.
Routh’s cross-examination was brief.
“Fortuitous that the blue flashlight with the name on it landed straight up on it?” he asked.
“I wouldn’t know,” Loureiro replied. Routh asked no further questions.

Also on Friday, Lt. William Gale, commander of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s bomb squad, testified he was monitoring radio traffic when he heard a panicked voice yell, “shots fired, shots fired, shots fired!”
He said he crawled through hedges near the 6th hole of Trump International Golf Club and found “two backpacks hanging on the fence, a rifle leaning on the fence and a GoPro-type camera zip-tied to the fence.”
On the ground nearby, he said, were Vienna sausages — the same brand prosecutors said they tied to a selfie Routh allegedly took hours before. Routh declined to cross-examine him.
