JUST IN: Jesse Watters Reveals Stunning Findings From Deep-Dive Into Trump Shooter’s Inexplicable History

Something stinks about the history behind would-be Trump shooter Ryan Wesley Routh, who was able to run from the law — and child support — for years while traveling the globe before last week’s assassination attempt.

A deep dive into Routh’s recent history by Fox News host Jesse Watters paints the portrait of a desperate man surviving on the sale of his modest North Carolina home while living unmoored from much if any responsibility. With just $68 in his bank account, Watters explained on his show Thursday night, the 58-year-old was able to jet-set around the world, stopping in Poland, Ukraine, and other eastern European destinations, sometimes for years at a time. It remains a mystery as to how he afforded the junkets.

By the time he turned up at President Trump’s Florida golf course ready to fire an AK-47 style rifle at him, he was “living in a barn” while racking up “more felonies than he had money in his bank account.” Watters and his staff reviewed records of Routh’s financial history showing he was “always behind” on child support payments, which his ex-wife eventually canceled out of sympathy for his financial plight. Earlier this year, he told his ramshackle North Carolina home, netting about $174,000 before landing in Hawaii where he settled in an $800,000 “bungalo,” according to Watters.

“How does a man with no money for child support suddenly start living in a pricey house in Hawaii and afford flights to Taiwan, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine. His neighbors say sometimes they wouldn’t see him for three years,” Watters revealed, adding that Routh was “always able to get press” when he appeared in war zones. During its coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war, the New York Times interviewed Routh, who claimed to be an American helping former members of the Taliban convert to the Ukrainian cause and take up arms against the Russian invasion.

Interestingly, the Hawaii home is “connected” to his wife Kathleen Shaffer who in 2022 posted a GoFundMe to support her husband’s travels, CNN reported. By the time Routh traveled to Ukraine in April of 2022, the page had raised over $1,800 of its $2,500 goal which Shaffer said would go toward arranging “delivery of 120 drones to the front lines.” Very recently, Shaffer saw her position eliminated at a Victoria’s Secret store in Hawaii. “She’s engaged to this guy who flies to Ukraine for months, and she’s fine with that?” Watters asked rhetorically.

Routh, who at one point spent eight months sleeping in Ukrainian military barracks, was “rubbing elbows with cold-blooded killers,” was managing to spend thousands on airfare despite having just $68 in his bank account earlier this year. “How are you even feeding yourself in Ukraine? And everywhere he goes he gets press, from the local papers to the New York Times to Newsweek,” Watters continued before posing the ultimate question: just who or which organization was financially sustaining Routh for so long?

“After spending months with Ukrainian mobsters and scaring the bejeezus out of everybody connected to him, he was flagged by the FBI, the State Department and Homeland Security, but they all dropped the investigation… No one is curious to see if Ryan Routh was sent here on a mission to kill” President Trump, Watters exclaimed. Meanwhile, “nobody’s been able to find his fiance,”

“How do we know there’s not more Ryan Rouths or Thomas Crooks out there?” he asked.
