Trump Picks Ex-Enemy Over DOJ to Probe Assassination Attempt
Donald Trump suggested Monday he trusts a former archenemy more than Joe Biden’s federal law enforcement officials to investigate the second attempt on his life: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
“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,” the former president wrote in a statement. “Florida charges would be much more serious than the ones the FBI has announced. … LET FLORIDA HANDLE THE CASE!”
The former GOP primary opponent who he nicknamed Ron DeSanctimonious is a better bet to handle things fairly, he implied, than the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
