Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate Donald Trump.

"A review of the SD card located in Device-1 revealed that it contained hundreds of child pornography files," the legal filing read. "These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina."

Although authorities did not clarify why Oran's home was raided, they claimed it was done "in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation."

It's been reported his charges include receipt and possession of child pornography.

This comes one day after Trump accused the DOJ and the FBI of "mishandling and downplaying" the second attempt on his life.

"If the DOJ and FBI cannot do their job honestly and without bias, and hold the aspiring assassin responsible to the full extent of the Law, Governor Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida have already agreed to take the lead on the investigation and prosecution," he said via Truth Social. "Florida charges would be much more serious than the ones the FBI has announced."
