Donald Trump Jr., said Monday the Justice Department releasing the “bounty” letter from his father’s second would-be assassin put former President Donald Trump’s “life even more at risk.”

Ryan Routh, who faces federal charges in connection with an apparent assassination attempt against Trump earlier this month, wrote a note months prior, indicating his intentions to kill GOP presidential nominee, according to a court filing released Monday.

Trump, Jr. said that releasing the letter is dangerous.

“For the life of me, I do not understand why the Kamala-Biden DOJ is publicly releasing a letter from Ryan Wesley Routh announcing a $150,000 bounty on my dad’s head,” Trump, Jr. told The Daily Wire. “They’re putting his life even more at risk with this reckless decision.”

The letter is part of evidence federal prosecutors submitted in a hearing Monday to support continuing Routh’s pretrial detention. 

Routh has not been charged with attempted assassination. 

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you,” reads the handwritten letter. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” 

Routh is allegedly the second attempted assassin of Trump, after Thomas Crooks shot Trump in the ear during a July rally in Buter, Pa. One man was killed and two others were injured during that shooting.
