The man who pointed the rifle and was arrested is Ryan Wesley Routh , law enforcement officials say.

Routh frequently posted on social media about the war in Ukraine and had a website where he sought to raise money and recruit volunteers to join the fight against the Russian invasion.

He also wrote separately on X, “I am going to fight and die for Ukraine ” and even traveled there.

Trump was to be briefed in person Monday by acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe , a source says.

Fox News host Sean Hannity says he spoke with Trump and his golf partner, Steve Witkoff , about the incident.

The White House said it was “relieved” to know Trump is safe.
