FORT PIERCE, Florida: The man charged with trying to assassinate Donald Trump while he played golf last year in South Florida stood before a group of potential jurors in a Florida courtroom on Monday and said he was “sorry for bringing you all in here.” Ryan Routh, wearing a gray sports coat, red tie with white stripes and khaki slacks, is representing himself in the trial that began with jury selection on Monday in the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Ryan Routh has been accused of attempting to kill Donald Trump. His criminal trial starts September 8, and he offered to settle it with golf.

Routh's trial in Florida begins on Monday, and he has made the unusual choice to represent himself.
