It is up to you now to finish the job unquote. Cnns Randi Kaye joins us now from west palm beach, florida, randi walk us through What Else was discovered . Jake just a little bit more on that letter that was given to federal prosecutors via federal investigators that came from witness who said that ruth delivered a box to his home a while back and in that letter, just a bit more on it, he said i tried my best and gave it all the gumption i could muster and then he went on to offer 150,000 too. Anyone who could finish the job also in Court Today, jake, we learned that the defendant in this in this case, according to federal investigators had a clear Line Of Fire to the sixth hole, putting green. And as you know, Jake Donald Trump was on the fifth poll putting green. When this went down so that that would have been would have put Donald Trump about 12 to 15 minutes away from that six hold putting green behind the sixth hole, putting greens. So there wasnt a lot of time before he would have arrived there. They also said that from where they believe ruth was, the there were about 100 feet in distance between where he was and that six hold putting green. We also learned that there was a piece of tape on the scope that they found on that rifle that was a piece of Electrical Tape that was holding the scope to the rifle and they found a preliminarily at least a Fingerprint Print that they say belongs to Ryan Ruth on that Electrical Tape, not on the firearm itself. Also jake, it came out in Court Today that there was a letter at the scene that was discovered that was addressed the New York Times, they tested it for dna. They looked at it for fingerprints. They said as of now, they havent found any of ruths fingerprints or dna on there, but jake interestingly, they did find fingerprint belonging to somebody else. They did not say who that person is or what the letter said. Jake waters, what was found in the car when in that car, they found that they caught him in. They found a hawaii Drivers License and passport in his name. They also found 12 pairs of gloves, six Cell Phones, one of them, they said showed a search for how to get from pompeii each county where this all happened to mexico. They also said that the Cell Phone data puts Ryan Ruth in this area for about a month that he arrived here on August 14 based on pings from the Cell Phone tower from his Cell Phone, that would have put him here as of August 14, and then that incident, of course, happened on september 15. And then finally, jake also in the car there was a list of venues and dates where the former president was going to appear and that was handwritten and they say that is ryan ruse handwriting. Jake Randi Kaye, thanks so much. Thats joining us now Is Cnn chief Law Enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller, as well as former secret Service Agent Jason Russell john, lets start with the letter. What do you make of this letter . How does it shape the investigation from here . Well, the letter does two things. One, it makes clear if they can prove that it was from him that he intended to at least attempt to assassinate president Donald Trump the curious thing is the letter seems to predict that he failed. So was this some arrangement . Dont open this unless you here ive been caught by the police was it Something Else . But its an indicator of intent which is the legally important piece of the interesting pieces its a prediction of failure at that jason prosecutors revealed that roots had a direct line on the six hold green, which was the next told that trump would have played. This man was able to get a direct line with his rifle pointed onto the course. How, how much does that signal to you that this was a clear failure on the part of the us Secret Service yeah. I think they werent treating it as they obviously should have treated it right the perimeter wasnt big enough. This is the second time weve seen this. So obviously some concerns there. His ability to stay there for 12 hours ahead of time and not being picked up by anybody because that area was swept i think as a significant concern for the Secret Service, how surprising is it to you that there are word these security vulnerabilities, given the fact that the first Assassination Attempt was just just a few months ago. Extremely surprising. I think the Secret Service was treating this more like they would treat an off the record movement. So maybe there wasnt a lot of heads up given that he was going to play golf, even though theres some indication that he had said the night before that he was going to so sweeping this area probably should have been done well ahead. Well in advance of emacs even getting to the course so the fact that this guy was able to get so close now has a rifle there within several hundred yards. Had he not been observed . He obviously wouldve been able to get a shot John Ruth also had a list of dates and venues were trump was expected to appear in the leadup to the president ial election and Cell Phone data shows the ruth was near this Trump Golf Course or maralago multiple times between August 18 and september 5, the day he was arrested. Could this potentially open the door for additional charges . Do you think . Oh, and it will federal prosecutors have telegraphed today that they intend to go beyond the charges that hes being held on now, which is possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and having a firearm with an obliterated serial number two conspiring to attempt to assassinate the former president of the united states. Its covered under a number of laws about federal officials, former federal officials in people under the protection of the Secret Service. But that is based on the evidence that was outlined in the pretrial Detention Memo Today certainly a lot of indicators that a he understood right from wrong b, he did things to conceal his activities see, he took over at steps in terms of planning preoperational surveillance, gathering equipment to show a strong intent to carry this out. His lawyer his lawyer countered that by saying what we have here looks more like a Publicity Stunt and he wasnt a serious player judge, wasnt buying it. And jason, regarding these multiple visits that ruth apparently made near maralago, near the golf course. Do you assume he was scouting it out . Yeah. Thats actually pretty typical of potential assassins to actually do some research to be seen in the area yeah, we see was paying attention to schedules and had some indication of where former President Trump would be in terms of Playing Golf and things like that. But he was doing whats pretty typical of these people that actually make an attempt, which is actually taking actions a lot of people make threats. They dont ever do anything. Its the people that actually takes some significant action in furtherance of that, brett that are really concerning. Obviously, he took an extreme action, brought a rifle and got within 600 yard. John, what questions do you still have in this investigation . Well, i mean, its still circles back to did anybody else know where that letter was found in this box at a friends house. Was the friend looped into this . That other fingerprint that was recovered in keeping with the rifle, who does that belong to . You always want to know whether you have somebody who may be unhinged, whos trying to do something irrational. Or if you have someone who is taking that person and targeting them towards this mission in most cases, it isnt but in every case, you have to look. All right. John miller and Jason Russell.

Com if you or a Loved One have Mesothelial Mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have called now and well come to you 808 to 14000 in our 2024 leads several top members of republican mark Robinsons Campaign for governor of North Carolina have resigned including his Campaign Manager and his deputy Campaign Manager and his finance director. And a senior adviser, their exit comes just days after a Cnn Report uncovered disturbing Comments Robinson made on a Porn Website including when he called Himself A Black Nazi. So could this governors race impact how North Carolina votes in the president ial race . Cnns Tom Foreman has a look at how the Trump Campaign is responding or not responding to the allegations against robinson people first, weve got to concentrate on this campaign and thats exactly what were going to do on a Mile Day in North Carolina, Republican Mark Robinson is a man in a hurricane after cnns kfile unearthed a history of him posting graphic sexual comments on a Porn Website supporting the reinstatement of slavery and calling Himself A Black Nazi all of which he called salacious false lies. We are not going to let Cnn Dot was off of our mission. Our mission is to win. Both the accusations seems to have former president Donald Trumps team on high alert. He did not mention his handpicked candidate while visiting the Battleground State this weekend even though trump had enthusiastically endorsed robinson i said, i think youre better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two trumps running mate, jd vances take On Robinsons denials. I dont not believe him. I dont believe him. I just think that you have to let these things sometimes play out in the court of public opinion. Its certainly playing out among Robinsons Campaign staff were several key players have resigned and in Vice President Kamala Harriss campaign, which has rolled out a new ads scorching trumps ties to the controversial robins so abortion in this country, its about killing a child because you want possible enough to keep your start down. Ive been with them a ive gotten to know him and hes outstanding. Democratic gubernatorial contender, Josh Stein says, its all proof his Opponent Isnt Fit for Office Robinson exists because Donald Trump has lifted him up throughout and North Carolinas senior senator thom tillis, has posed if the reporting is a fabrication, robinson should take immediate legal action if the reporting is true, he owes it to President Trump and every republican to take Accountability Polls had robinson well behind before this story broke, a little early to know what effect it might have On Robinson or on trump at this point. But we do know this trumps team has said they need to win this state and this doesnt make it any easier, jake. All right. Tom foreman, thanks so much. Lets discuss with our panel ayisha, North Carolina has not voted for a democrat for president since obama in 2008, and it was a long drought before that, trump won there in 2020. 020. But bare under 75,000 votes. A new, New York Times Sienna Poll released today says harris has only trailing trump by 2 Sandwich Points in North Carolina. Well within the margin of error in this poll was conducted before Bombshell Report by kfile about robinson. Do you think it will have an effect on the president ial i think that is difficult to tell, but i think because the race is so close you dont want something like this dragging the ticket even further down, right . Like you dont want people who maybe are turned off by trump. And then also turned off by robinson who feel i am maybe i just want to go out and vote, you know, maybe im conservative and also i think its a missed opportunity because like i said, i was in North Carolina recently. Im talking to voters and what the black man that i talked to said was not that theyre democrats and theres always going to be democrats. But if the republicans put forward a serious candidate that they felt like was series that they will consider them, but they did not feel like Robinson Or Trump were very serious candidates. So i think that its a missed opportunity for republicans thats when they have these types of candidates who are, who have so much baggage and say all these outrageous things that it turns people off. So kristen trump did not invite, nor did he even mention Lieutenant Governor Robinson at his North Carolina rally over the weekend and you heard his running mate, j. D. Vance, senator j. D. Vance he didnt exactly defend robinson. He said, i dont not believe him. And then the allegations arent necessarily reality what would you advise Trump And Vance to do should they should they distanced themselves . They seem to be kind of just that trying to have it both ways. Well, i think not having robinson at the rally, which was a huge i mean, i think thats more than having it both ways. I think thats a step towards cutting him loose. I think vance the first thing he said on twitter basically saying, look, robinson didnt tank the economy. He didnt cause the immigration crisis. That was more of where i would recommend they go versus debating whether or not hes telling the truth. Look, hes a terrible candidate. The missed opportunity. It was back in the republican primary when the 10 Million spent did nothing to get a better candidate in the race. So i think that in North Carolina theres probably not a whole lot of robinson not trump voters. Theres probably plenty of trump not robinson voters. Right now. I think the risk is tripping while
