The gunman accused of planning to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course was indicted on Tuesday on three additional counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, the US Department of Justice announced.

Recall that Ryan Routh, 58, was arrested on September 15th after Secret Service agents spotted him with a gun near the course where Trump was playing.

He has already been charged with two gun crimes in relation to the incident.

The new indictment was issued late Tuesday by a grand jury, a panel of citizens with investigative powers in Miami, Florida, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Court documents indicated that the case was assigned at random to Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee who stopped criminal proceedings against the former president over his retention of top-secret documents at his private residence.

In addition to attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, the new charges also include possession of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime and assault on a federal officer, which court documents indicated was a Secret Service agent.
