Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life in Prison for Attempt on Trump's Life; X Offices Raided Amidst Investigations

Ryan Routh, 59, was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in September 2024 at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to BBC World. Judge Aileen Cannon issued the sentence after Routh was found guilty last year.

The incident occurred when a U.S. Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel protruding from bushes and fired at Routh, who subsequently fled the scene but was apprehended nearby, BBC World reported. In a sentencing memorandum, Judge Cannon cited the severity of the crime as justification for the life sentence.

In separate news, Elon Musk's social media platform X faced scrutiny on multiple fronts. The platform's offices in France were raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, BBC Technology reported. The raid was part of an investigation into suspected offenses, including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography. The prosecutor's office stated that both Musk and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino were summoned to appear at hearings in April. Musk responded to the raid on X, calling it a "political attack," according to BBC Technology. The company released a statement regarding the raid, the details of which were not provided.

Adding to X's challenges, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) announced an investigation into Musk's AI tool, Grok, BBC Technology reported. The probe focuses on Grok's "potential to produce harmful sexualised image and video content."
