Accused of trying to kill Trump begins to be tried and rejects a lawyer

Judge denied requests made by the defendant for “beating session”. Earlier this month, Reth also proposed a golf match with Trump, justifying that, “If he (Trump) wins, he can do me, but if I win, I get his job,” according to ABC News.

Cannon also denied a list of several witnesses made by Routh. For the judge, “as much as the defendant wants this process to become a ‘beating session’ with one of the alleged victims, he could not use witnesses as a means of generating calculated chaos.”

To start the trial, the jury will be made on Monday. Opening statements of the process are scheduled for Wednesday. In total, Reth’s trial is expected to last between two and four weeks.
