Ryan Routh appeared to try to stab himself with a pen several times after the verdict was read out, according to US media and court sketches, leading to chaos in the courtroom.
He was also found guilty on the four other charges he faced, including impeding a federal agent and weapons offences.
As he was removed from the room, Routh’s daughter Sara Routh shouted out: “Dad, I love you, don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody.”

Following the verdict, Trump told reporters in New York that the case was “really well handled.”
“And so justice was served. But I very much appreciate the judge and jury and everybody on that.”
In his closing argument he told the court he didn’t intend to kill anyone that day.
He pointed out that he could see Trump as he was on the path toward the sixth-hole green at the golf course and noted that he also could have shot a Secret Service agent who confronted him if he had intended to harm anyone.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X that the guilty verdict “illustrates the Department of Justice’s commitment to punishing those who engage in political violence.”
Routh will be sentenced on 18 December.
