Ryan Routh has been found guilty of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump on a Florida golf course in September last year.
A jury found Routh, 59, guilty of all charges, including the attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and a range of firearm offences.
The incident happened on 15 September 2024 as Trump, then a presidential candidate, was playing golf on a course he owns in West Palm Beach, about 15 minutes from his Mar-a-Lago residence.
A US Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel poking out of the bushes and fired on the man holding it - later identified as Routh - who then fled the scene. He was arrested nearby.
Routh attempted to harm himself after the verdict was read out, according to the BBC's US partner, CBS News. He reportedly tried to stab himself using a pen before US Marshals intervened.
