According to a New York Post report, Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old would-be Trump assassin, exploited a security weakness at the former president’s West Palm Beach golf club — a weakness that was well-known to photographers and the Secret Service.

From The New York Post:

News photographers — including those hired by The Post — have had no problem repeatedly securing spots around the perimeter of the course to snap pictures of Trump playing golf or driving around in a golf cart.

They have even taken images — which require a clear line of sight to the 45th president — unnoticed through the bushes with telephoto lenses. Some have gotten as close as 75 yards — without so much as a sideways glance from the Secret Service.

“They’re always amazed how close they can get to Trump and his entourage — it’s easy for them,” one photo agency source told The Post.

Photographers typically announce themselves to the Secret Service so they are not mistaken for threats, but the source said agents are easy enough to evade.

We’re also learning that Routh has been on the FBI’s radar since 2019. The information was revealed during a Monday afternoon presser by Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey B Veltri.

“Following up on the tip, the alleged complainant was interviewed and … did not verify providing the initial information. The FBI passed that information to local law enforcement in Honolulu,” Veltri said.
