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

The indictment for Ryan Routh was issued by a grand jury in Miami, according to the Department of Justice, and court documents indicated that the case was assigned at random to 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.
