The DOJ alleged in a late-Monday motion that would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh ATTEMPTED TO BUY A ROCKET LAUNCHER FROM A UKRAINIAN ASSOCIATE weeks before his Sept. 15 attempt.

“I need equipment so that Trump cannot get elected,” Routh allegedly told his Ukrainian associate.

The DOJ also claimed that Routh was in touch with a Mexican human trafficker about smuggling Afghans into the U.S.– and later about escaping the country after he killed Trump–and that he used stolen license plates and fake names such as “John White” and “Brian Wilson.”

A flurry of court filings hit the docket Monday in the Justice Department’s case against Ryan Routh, revealing bombshell new details about Routh’s activities in the months leading up to his alleged assassination attempt against Donald Trump last September—including that he tried buying a rocket launcher and a “stinger” missile from an associate in Ukraine weeks beforehand.

Along with several other motions, the DOJ filed a notice about the evidence it intends to introduce about Routh’s purported plans to kill Trump. According to that DOJ motion, Routh used aliases, he was in touch with a human smuggler in Mexico about an escape plan, and he attempted to buy a .50 caliber sniper rifle in late August.

From the DOJ report, via Headline USA:

An Escape Plan to Mexico?

The DOJ’s motion states that Routh was in touch with the Mexican smuggler, identified in court records only as “Ramiro,” since at least February 2024, when they discussed smuggling an Afghan family into the U.S.

“While this February chat involved smuggling others, it is necessary context for how that same chat evolved on September 13th and 14th, the two days before Routh set up his sniper hide at Trump International, when he contacted Ramiro for the first time since February 29,” the DOJ’s motion states.

“On those two days, Routh told Ramiro that he would be in Mexico City in the days immediately after September 15, with Ramiro responding that he would see Routh then and that he was located four hours outside of Mexico City and with Routh replying that he would call Ramiro once he knew for sure whether he’d meet him—something Routh planned through extensive web searches about travel to Mexico.”

Apparently, Routh’s contact with the Mexican smuggler was just one element of his escape plan. The DOJ also said in its motion that Routh used stolen license plates, burner phones, and aliases, including “John White” and “Brian Wilson.” (Read more: Headline News, 4/8/2025) (Archive)

We’ve got some big updates on Ryan Routh, the would-be assassin who allegedly plotted to kill President Trump—and it just got a whole lot darker. And while his shady dealings with Ukraine are disturbing enough (and yes, we’ll get into that), the real meat and potatoes of this story comes from Mike Benz, who just dropped a bombshell that could blow this whole thing wide open. What he believes happened—and what he’s nearly certain of—is where things take a serious turn. This story is catching fire fast.

According to newly released DOJ documents, Routh didn’t just dream about taking Trump out—he actively tried to buy military-grade weapons from Ukraine – of all places – including a shoulder-fired rocket launcher and even an anti-aircraft missile. Yes, you read that right. This man likely wanted to blow Trump’s plane right out of the sky.
