Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ORDERS State To Investigate Trump’s Assassination Attempt

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on Tuesday, authorizing Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to lead a criminal investigation into the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

 

This action follows an alarming incident where a Democratic donor with a lengthy criminal history, which legally prohibited him from owning firearms, was found on one of Trump’s golf courses. The individual, armed with a rifle, was reportedly only a few hundred yards away from Trump at the time. The suspect is also believed to have driven a truck bearing a Biden-Harris bumper sticker and previously wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate the former president.

 

“The State of Florida is conducting its own investigation into the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump,” DeSantis announced. “It is not in the best interests of our state and nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Trump leading this investigation.”

 

 

DeSantis emphasized that Florida has “jurisdiction over the most serious, readily provable offense: attempted murder.”

 

“I have directed our state agencies to move expeditiously and to provide full transparency to the public,” he added. “There will be accountability in Florida. The people of our state, and the entire country, deserve no less.”

 

The governor highlighted that the state investigation would offer a greater level of transparency than a federal probe.

 

“What the state does is going to be made public,” he explained. “I mean, you guys know who are from Florida, you can FOIA a lot of the stuff that’s done in these investigations under Florida sunshine laws. And then they have a charge to be very frank and exercise candor with the public. I want the information to get out. I do not want any of the information kept under wraps.”
