Prosecutors seek more time in attempted Trump assassination case after hurricanes | National
SUMMARY: Federal prosecutors in Florida sought a brief delay in court deadlines for the case against 58-year-old Routh, accused of stalking and attempting to kill former President Donald Trump. Due to office closures from recent hurricanes, they requested a two-day extension for the initial discovery deadline. Routh, who has pleaded not guilty, was charged with several felonies including attempted assassination. Evidence includes a sniper nest near Trump’s golf course containing a rifle linked to Routh. Authorities found a handwritten note in Routh’s vehicle offering money to anyone who would complete the assassination, which his attorney dismissed as a publicity stunt.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton struck Florida’s west coast near Siesta Key as a Category 3 storm late Wednesday, weakening to a Category 1 by 1 a.m. It left over 3.2 million residents without power and caused extensive flooding and wind damage, prompting mandatory evacuations and a state of emergency for 51 counties. Governor Ron DeSantis assured that fuel supplies were adequate, but distribution issues arose. Tampa Mayor Jane Castor issued dire warnings for those ignoring evacuation orders. Tornadoes were reported, and emergency services stopped responding ahead of the storm. Conditions are expected to improve as Milton moves further into the Atlantic.
