In a revelation that has left many incredulous, Watters reported that a Secret Service agent confronted Routh, who was hiding in the bushes. The agent, standing just five feet away, fired six shots—and missed every single one.
“How does a trained agent who passed the firearms test miss a target 5 feet away?” Watters questioned during his broadcast, amplifying the public’s outrage over the agency’s performance.
Watters disclosed further failures in the Secret Service’s response, citing a report from the Trump Assassination Task Force. The agency had been alerted at 2:30 a.m. that Trump would be golfing later that day but failed to secure the course adequately. This oversight allowed Routh to camp out undetected for nearly 12 hours before the attempt.
Law enforcement used T-Mobile records to track Routh’s phone activity, confirming that he had been in the area from 1:59 a.m. to 1:31 p.m. on the day of the attack.
Routh has been charged with attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and several firearms offenses. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.
His legal team has indicated plans to pursue an insanity defense, claiming Routh was delusional and hallucinating at the time of the attack. “His legal team signaling they’re going to go with the insanity defense. How convenient,” Watters remarked. Routh’s attorneys have requested a trial delay until December 2025, citing the complexity of the case.
WATCH:
Authorities revealed disturbing evidence of premeditation. Among Routh’s possessions was a handwritten letter addressed to “Dear World,” in which he expressed regret over the failed attempt and offered $150,000 to anyone willing to “finish the job.” A detailed list of Trump’s appearances was also discovered, highlighting Routh’s efforts to track the former president.

Adding to the intrigue, Routh was found with 18 cell phones. While investigators have traced ownership of 17 devices, the origins of the 18th remain a mystery.
The botched response and subsequent revelations have ignited a firestorm of criticism aimed at the Secret Service. Despite enhanced security measures implemented after a prior assassination attempt, glaring vulnerabilities were exposed once again.
Watters didn’t hold back in his broadcast: “How can we trust the agency charged with protecting our leaders when such blatant failures occur? The American people deserve answers.”
As the investigation continues, the episode underscores the need for greater accountability and reform within the ranks of the Secret Service. The implications for national security—and the safety of political leaders—could not be more critical.
