Donald Trump Jr. slammed the Biden DOJ on Monday for releasing a letter written by would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh that promised a reward for anyone who takes out former President Donald Trump.
“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,” Donald Trump Jr. said. “They’re putting his life even more at risk with this reckless decision.”
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you,” Routh allegedly wrote in the letter, which the Justice Department released during Routh’s pretrial detention hearing Monday. “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.”
Trump Jr. shared similar remarks in a post on X.
“WTF!? Why is Kamala’s DOJ publicizing Ryan Wesley Routh putting a bounty on my dad’s head???”
