The Justice Department released a chilling letter written by would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh on Monday.
In the letter, Routh admits his intent was to assassinate former President Donald Trump, and he calls on others to make their own attempts.
"This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. 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 wrote.
