alleging years of abuse, sex trafficking. and those are the kinds of allegations that the feds have been investigating. >> and what have his lawyers said to us tonight about how they'll move forward with the civil lawsuits, as well as the criminal case? >> his attorneys say he's innocent, and they've called the civil accusers out for money. but here they're going to have to deploy a much different strategy because these are very serious, potentially criminal charges. but did he knew this was coming? he arrived in new york last week. we're told, anticipating that he was going to be federally charged. his attorney said it did not have to happen because though he may be imperfect, he is innocent and they plan to fight this in court. >> they say he is an imperfect man, but not a criminal. aaron katersky, we know you'll stay on top of every detail. thank you so much for joining us. thanks, juju. and for more of course, you can tune in to gma tomorrow. we turn now to the shocking events in florida sunday. secret service is on high alert after a man armed with an assault rifle was able to get dangerously

close to former president trump on a west palm beach golf course tonight. the accused gunman's online history. what he allegedly brought to the scene with him, and how authorities say they are changing their strategy. driver walk straight back. body camera footage capturing the moment law enforcement officers arrested a suspect in what the fbi describes as an apparent assassination attempt against former president donald trump. i am we're here to announce that ryan wesley routh, 58 years old, of hawaii, has been charged and later law enforcement descending on his home in north carolina, searching by flashlight. the 58 year old suspect, ryan wesley routh, seen leaving federal court this morning after his initial appearance. >> take a look at what happened just two months after former president trump's first assassination attempt at a rally in pennsylvania, now again facing another at his west palm beach golf club.

>> this time, authorities say the suspect fired no shots and trump was uninjured, according to investigators. cell phone records show that ryan routh was waiting roughly 12 hours in this area near the sixth hole along the tree line of the trump international golf club. trump was moving across the fairway near the fifth hole when a secret service agent, one hole ahead, called out gun. >> the subject who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene. he did not fire or get off any shots at our agents. >> secret service immediately surrounding trump and taking him to a safe location. abc's rachel scott was on the scene today. >> officials say that one of the most challenging parts of this golf course are these hedges. right here. the golf course is just over those hedges. and you can see down there that is the area where police believe that the suspected gunman entered on the public side of the road. they say that once he crawled inside of those hedges, he was essentially out of sight. then that is when the secret service

agent spotted a barrel of a rifle sticking out of the bushes, then fired multiple rounds, sending the suspect fleeing into the street. he ultimately got inside that vehicle and tried to escape. >> investigators found a loaded sks soviet style semi-automatic rifle with a scope, a digital camera, a backpack and a bag containing food. >> fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said he jumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of the vehicle and the tag, which was great. >> according to court records, the suspect was brought into court and faces charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. >> we have every reason to believe, according to our sources, that more charges are coming. specifically, they want to charge him, i'm told, with an assassination attempt on former president trump. >> the charges include a reference to a 2002 conviction for possession of a weapon of mass death and destruction, a

law enforcement source with direct knowledge telling abc news that police in 2002 saw routh motion towards a firearm in his vehicle. he then fled the scene, sparking a three hour standoff with authorities who discovered a fully operational machine gun. >> they're still waiting on the results or information from the atf search in terms of where the gun was initially purchased, but this is america. guns are ubiquitous and people that are not supposed to have guns get them all the time. >> vice president kamala harris and democratic nominee for president, releasing a statement saying, i condemn political violence. we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence. trump speaking out tonight on x spaces. >> it was very nice today. he called up to make sure i was okay. >> later, railing against what he called the radical left wars. >> the world is a nasty place, and you can see that with some of the things that have happened. >> this attempt, putting the secret service back in the spotlight after a gunman was

able to get so close to the former president and republican nominee. >> no one, whether they're a potential assassin, should go undetected along the perimeter of a golf course that is regularly visited by the former president of the united states immediately following the assassination attempt of former president donald j. >> trump, president biden made it clear that he wanted the highest levels of protection for former president trump and for vice president harris and those things were in place yesterday. >> they expanded the security bubble around the president, and they took other steps to try to minimize any potential risk of an additional attack against the president. >> last week, democratic senator richard blumenthal, reacting to fox news about the first assassination attempt. >> i think the american people are going to be shocked, astonished and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the secret service. >> it is very difficult to

prevent every potential scenario that could arise. and that is why the secret service and law enforcement focus on reducing risk. but we have to understand that there's no way to totally eliminate all threats and all risk. reporter routh lived here in kailua, hawaii, in this quiet community. >> neighbors say he kept to himself. >> he's always saying hello. and he's a very good neighbor. you know, he's usually in front of his house and maybe, you know, like, doing his, his camper home business. >> sources familiar with the investigation told abc news that the suspect's family claims routh had a tendency to fixate on things. his latest social media posts focusing heavily on ukraine. routh traveled there. abc news crews capturing him here in kyiv at the end of apri. >> ukraine and russia. >> in an interview with newsweek romania, routh told reporters he

was working with the international legion in ukraine to help recruit fighters. a source close to the president of ukraine told abc news that zelensky had been briefed, detailing that while routh did try to join the international legion, he was rejected. according to a commander, routh failed to pass a psychological check. >> you know the why? >> world leaders are not sending military is beyond me. we're going to have to elect new leaders in the next go around that have a backbone. >> as authorities look into possible motive in the case, they're investigating whether or not routh had grievances related to ukraine that may have led to frustrations with trump. but so far, those who know him say they never saw this coming. >> there's no indication that he had any mean bone in his body that, you know, would drive him to do something like this. >> routh's son telling the daily mail, i know my dad and love my dad, but that's nothing like him. >> the easiest way for the secret service to protect a protectee is to ensure that that protectee is in a secure

location, but when you're in a political campaign and you choose to live your life in a country club, it makes protecting that individual difficult. >> secret service director at the time of the first attempt, kimberly cheadle, resigned weeks later. today, the new acting director of the secret service defending his agency's performance. >> i commend them and our partners for an exemplary response in keeping former president trump safe. i can state that i am tremendously impressed. >> but admitting they need a, quote paradigm shift. >> we need to look at what our protected methodology is. we need to get out of a reactive model and get to a readiness model. >> with less than 50 days till the election, it's another shocking development in a campaign filled with them. >> i think it's fair to say that a situation where in a matter of nine weeks, we have two people armed with assault style rifles is something that has law enforcement beyond concerned

many different parts as i can and kind of mix it up. it was, you know, wonderful to go from lebowski to the contender, where i got to play the president of the united states, you know, from the dude to the prez. that was a lot of fun. >> the old man also stars golden globe and tony winner john lithgow, playing a former fbi assistant director tasked with hunting down bridges. >> let's go man. yeah, we're immediately old buddies. i was never as dumb as you thought i was. i was never as reckless. it's this legendary duo's first on screen project together. >> how did you get the green light for an action thriller series starring a couple of guys in their 70s? >> it's funny, when i first looked at the book and the title is the old man, and i was like, will we ever be able to sell this? so what's it like to be jason bourne when he turns 70? and then we said, all right, let's dream. who who could be the star of the show? we said, well, top of the food chain,

jeff bridges, what we saw in it as a book and what we saw in it as a project, which was to be able to tell a story about what happens to an action hero when they survive. >> being an action hero, staying true to his character. >> the series has bridges often performing his own stunts. this has to be a physically taxing role. how did you prepare for i? >> i love doing fight scenes. you know, it's like something from my youth and i kind of, you know, watch it sometimes because i'll, i'll think my, you know, body can do some things that, you know, writing checks that it can't cash. >> you know, behind the scenes on set in los angeles speak, we also got to meet the rottweilers. dave and carol nailed it. what would you say the message is of the old man? >> well, i think we want to be true to the genre where we are a fun spy thriller. however, we also want it to feel very real.

and we also want to say there's more to it. some may look like a hero, others may look like a villain. and we explore the gray. everything that's in between. >> you always go into a project thinking, this is going to be great and then when it turns out that the experience of making it is even better than you ever thought, you say, oh, i'm glad i'm in this profession. >> our thanks to victor. season two of the old man is now streaming on hulu. when we come back, remembering a member of the legendary jackson five. i go, ray me a, b, c12, three baby, you and me girl a-b-c. >> easy like. why she got to be. sing a simple melody. is that you? we love can be ya. sit down you? we love can be ya. sit down girl i think i love the golden hr of cold and flu symptoms! i'm feeling better. cough? congestion? all in one and done
