Federal prosecutors on Wednesday requested the trial of former President Donald Trump’s suspected shooter Ryan Wesley Routh be indefinitely delayed, because of a massive amount of evidence they’ve uncovered in the past two weeks.

Routh allegedly attempted to assassinate Trump last month at his resort in Florida, but the plot was foiled by Secret Service agents. Routh has been charged with attempted assassination, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and assaulting a federal officer. He has pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutors argued in a court filing on Wednesday that new details in the case have emerged, which have resulted in more than 100 outstanding subpoena returns, thousands of videos to review, and the seizure of multiple electronic devices.
