The man denies all five charges brought against him. A charge of attempted murder of a presidential candidate can in the USA result in a life sentence in the event of a guilty verdict.
It was on Sunday, September 15, that the Secret Service security team discovered a rifle barrel sticking out through a fence aimed at the golf course in Florida where Trump was playing a round.
The man with the rifle fled when he was discovered and was arrested later. No shots were fired at Trump.
The suspected perpetrator was at the golf course in West Palm Beach for twelve hours before the former president's golf round, before he was discovered.
Trump was subjected to another attempted murder in July, at a campaign meeting in Butler, Pennsylvania. Then, a shooter opened fire, and Trump was injured in the ear and was led bleeding from the stage by his bodyguards.
