It turns out that Hawaii native Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the assassination attempt on US presidential candidate Donald Trump, is famous for more than just that.
The famous American newspaper The Wall Street Journal learned that this man threatened to kill Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.
The publication cites information from compatriot Chelsea Walsh, who allegedly met with Raut several times in Kyiv.
Walsh List
Having read the publication, the TASS agency writes that, according to Walsh (she works as a nurse and spent a month and a half in Ukraine), she was alarmed by Raut’s words about his desire to use violence.
In particular, the woman claims, he threatened to kill the Russian and North Korean leaders.
He also mentioned Donald Trump and Joe Biden. But the nurse doesn’t remember whether he threatened the latter.
The woman reportedly returned to her homeland in June 2022 and expressed her concerns to a Customs and Border Protection official at Dulles International Airport (located near Washington).
Walsh even compiled a list of more than 12 people she suspected of potentially dangerous activities.
She put Raut first, telling the publication that his behavior was “predatory” and “antisocial.”
State Department and CIA
In turn, the WSJ reminds: the State Department had previously also stated that Raut could pose a danger to society.
The agency did not rule out that this person could be involved in human trafficking, as well as immigration fraud.
And former CIA employee Sarah Adams said that in Ukraine the American was called a "fraudster" and a "psycho."
Many people tried to get him to stop his activities or at least prevent other people from falling for his hook, Adams noted.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that Raut did not like Trump’s intention to “make a deal” with Putin to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
The newspaper reports that, in the suspect's opinion, the US authorities should continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine.
