FBI investigators looked into Routh's home in connection with the investigation of his father, Ryan Routh, who was arrested on Sept. 15 after authorities detected a gun in the bushes at the golf course where former President Trump was playing. According to FoxNews, the FBI conducted a raid on Oran Routh's home as part of the investigation into his father. Investigators seized several electronic devices, including a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device. After authorities obtained a search warrant to seize the electronic devices, investigators discovered child pornography videos on an SD card located in the Samsung device.
Oran Alexander Routh is in federal custody on child pornography charges. Oran has a criminal history, including arrests in 2015 and 2016 for driving while intoxicated, assault on a female and interfering with an emergency communication. His father, Ryan Routh, was arrested earlier this month after a foiled assassination attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump.
