Federal Judge Aileen Cannon says she will rule on a request to delay the trial for the attempted Trump assassin in the "not so distant future."
Attorneys for Ryan Routh were in a Fort Pierce courtroom today, asking to postpone the trial by ten months. It's currently scheduled to begin in February, but defense attorneys say that's not nearly enough time to go through the "extraordinary volume" of discovery.
Among the items that prosecutors have entered in the case are 18 cell phones, computers, tablets and surveillance footage.
Routh is accused of pointing a rifle through a chain-link fence at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach while the President-elect was playing a round in September.
He has pleaded not guilty.
