Court Docs: Trump’s Alleged Attacker Wanted a Sniper Rifle and a Rocket

Posted on by Constitutional Nobody

In a shocking revelation connected to an attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, two individuals have pleaded guilty to gun trafficking charges related to providing a weapon to the would-be assassin. Tina Brown Cooper and Ronnie Jay Oxendine admitted to selling an SKS rifle to Ryan Routh, who allegedly used the weapon in his attempt to kill Trump at a Florida golf club. How did Cooper and Oxendine attempt to cover up their involvement after Routh’s arrest?

Gun Trafficking Connection to Trump Assassination Plot

The Department of Justice has accused Tina Brown Cooper and Ronnie Jay Oxendine of providing the firearm used in an alleged assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. Court documents reveal that Cooper and Oxendine sold an SKS rifle to Ryan Routh in August, who later allegedly used it in his attempt to assassinate Trump at his Florida golf club.

The weapon transaction occurred through Cooper acting as an intermediary between Routh and Oxendine, with Routh paying $350 for the rifle and an additional $100 to Cooper for arranging the sale. According to prosecutors, Routh was arrested near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach with a loaded firearm, ammunition, and gloves, positioning himself close to Trump during a golf outing just weeks before the 2024 election.

Guilty Pleas and Cover-Up Attempts

Both Cooper and Oxendine have pleaded guilty to gun-related charges stemming from their involvement in the weapon sale. Cooper faces charges of firearm trafficking which could result in up to 15 years in prison, while Oxendine has pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered firearm and could receive up to ten years behind bars.

Court documents reveal that Cooper admitted to lying to FBI agents “out of fear of criminal consequences for her involvement in the attempted assassination attempt of President Donald J. Trump.” Following Routh’s arrest, Cooper allegedly advised Oxendine to delete any communications with Routh and to deny knowledge about the transaction when questioned by authorities.

Routh’s Motivations and Legal Proceedings

Ryan Routh, previously convicted of felonies in 2002 and 2010, was legally prohibited from owning firearms at the time of the alleged assassination attempt. Prosecutors claim that Routh told Cooper he needed the gun “for his son to use as protection,” though investigators later discovered more sinister intentions.

According to court filings, Routh allegedly feared Trump would negatively impact Ukraine’s war with Russia if re-elected, and had even sought a rocket launcher for his plans. Routh has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted assassination and unlawful gun possession, with his trial scheduled for September, while federal prosecutors plan to use Cooper and Oxendine’s involvement as evidence against him.

The arrest came just weeks after Trump had already survived being struck by a bullet at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, highlighting the troubling pattern of violence targeting the president. Both Cooper and Oxendine had previous professional connections with Routh through roofing companies, which facilitated the illegal gun transaction that now links them to one of the most serious political assassination attempts in recent American history.
