Ryan W. Routh was charged with two federal gun crimes a day after Secret Service agents fired on him as he pointed a rifle toward the golf course where former President Donald Trump was playing.

Ronald L. Rowe Jr., the Secret Service’s acting director, said that in order to handle an increasingly challenging threat environment, the agency would need Congress to provide more funding.

The man suspected to have planned an attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump leaving the federal courthouse Monday in West Palm Beach, Fla.
