45-year-old Daniel Routh, who allegedly planned to assassinate President Trump, has gone to trial in a Florida court. Routh has represented himself and has chosen to plead guilty to the charges, which include attempting to procure the murder of a president, an offense that could lead to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. It has been reported that Routh's lawyer, Andrew Hall, has requested the judge to rescind Routh's representation as he is not fluent in law, thereby rendering him incapable of defending himself properly.

In a related development, reports have surfaced that a man accused of attempting to kill Donald Trump Jr. in the same trial, was acquitted of the said charges. The judge, however, hasn't set any timetable for Routh's sentencing.

It now remains to be seen whether Routh's plea of guilty will have any impact on the trial's outcome or the final sentencing.

Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
