EXCLUSIVE - Former Attorney General William Barr says he is
"dumbfounded" that the Justice Department released a chilling
letter penned by would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh on Monday,
calling the decision "rash" and serving no purpose "other than
to risk inciting further violence."

Routh is the suspect in former President Donald Trump's second
foiled assassination attempt. The DOJ obtained the letter from a
witness who says they received it inside a box delivered to them
by Routh several months prior to the assassination attempt.

The box contained several handwritten letters as well as
ammunition, among other things. One of the letters, addressed
"Dear World," admitted to an assassination attempt on Trump. He
also offered money to anyone willing to finish the job.

"I was dumbfounded that the DOJ made public this morning the
contents of the letter that, Ryan Routh, left with an
acquaintance prior to the attempted assassination of former
President Trump," Barr said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
