FORT PIERCE, Fla — A suspect accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump last September in South Florida can hire an expert to examine the rifle recovered from the scene, but only to determine its operability.

Ryan Wesley Routh’s attorneys had asked that their expert be allowed to inspect, photograph and test the rifle in order to evaluate a government expert’s findings, as well as test it for other information that they thought was relevant. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon limited the testing to just its operability with a May 15 deadline.
