The Department of Justice has released a letter from the suspect accused of assassinating President Trump.

In a letter written months earlier, would-be assassin Ryan Routh wrote that he intended to kill President Trump.

Routh wrote, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you.”

He continued in the letter, “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job.”

“I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,” added rough.

Here’s what The New York Post reported:

The suspect accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course wrote a chilling note months earlier declaring he intended to kill the former president, the Justice Department said Monday.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly dropped the note — addressed “To the World” — off in a box at an unnamed person’s home in the months before the foiled assassination attempt at the West Palm Beach golf course on Sept. 15, federal prosecutors said in a court filing.

“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you,” the letter read.

“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.”

Per NPR:

Federal prosecutors say the man being held in an apparent assassination attempt on former President Trump wrote a letter detailing his plans. In addition, the government says Ryan Routh traveled to Florida a month before his arrest and began casing the golf course and drove by Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Ryan Routh’s former business headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., was also the scene of one of his most serious crimes. After an officer spotted a machine gun in Routh’s car during a traffic stop, Routh sped away and barricaded himself inside this building with explosives. Hours later, police special teams managed to defuse the situation. Routh was convicted of a felony for possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

In court papers filed Monday, agents included a letter Routh allegedly wrote and left with an unidentified person in a box along with other possessions. The letter, addressed to “The World” says, “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.”

According to the filing, the person received the box several months earlier but didn’t open it until after seeing news reports of the apparent assassination attempt on Sept. 15. The person read the letter and turned it over to authorities. Prosecutors say the box also contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various other letters.
