DeSantis Signs Executive Order to Investigate Trump Assassination Attempt
“It’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order that assigns the office of Statewide prosecutor to investigate the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
“It’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation,” declared DeSantis.

“The federal government does not have jurisdiction to bring an attempted murder charge,” DeSantis said. “They don’t have jurisdiction over a case that’s not a federal official, the apparent winner of a presidential election or the formally declared president-elect. So right then and there we have the ability to pursue potentially life in prison under state law.”
He said Routh “is believed to have committed state law violations across multiple judicial circuits in the state — Palm Beach Judicial Circuit, the judicial circuit including Martin County, as well as perhaps the judicial circuit represented by Broward County.”
“In addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination came to be,” DeSantis said. “And I have directed all state agencies to work expeditiously to be able to uncover the truth.”
DeSantis said it was essential to “save the social media” from the suspect, adding that the investigation would probe various “red flags” involving Roush and his “associations, his motivations, and his ideology” in an effort to understand how he ended up at Trump’s club over the weekend.
The Governor said he has spoken to Trump, who is “complimentary” that “Florida is trying to take the lead” in the investigation.

I hope they have secured the prisoner otherwise I suspect he will definitely not suicide himself.
That’s the DeSantis I have been looking for!
I’m sure there wouldn’t be any mysteriously malfunctioning cameras or guards that are conveniently absent.
Unfortunately, Gov DeSantis is correct. There is little public confidence in Biden’s DOJ and Chris Wray’s FBI.
I love DeSantis!!!
He is absolutely right – the people trying to prosecute Trump should not be the people investigating his attempted assassination. Not to mention that DeSantis will get to the bottom of this.
I love DeSantis!!!
Paging Hezbollah!
Waiting for Gonzo’s snide remark.
I have to mention the elephant in the room with this press conference. That is that DeSantis is helping himself with the strong MAGA supporters of President Trump, plus DeSantis is showing up the feds in a way that will be popular not only here in the Sunshine State but in other states.
I don’t believe the feds suspected the aftermath to go the way it is going with DeSantis involved and adding in the Sheriff’s (who are elected) who are beholden to NO politician whether it be a state of federal official.
you say it like its a bad thing
DeS has already proven his willingness to defeat communistnazi loving dnc
he is a maga trump or no trump
Not at all. Unlike most Americans, Ron was my congressman before my governor and those of us involved in local Republican politics know a hell of a lot more of Ron and Casey than about 99% of the electorate. Ron is about Ron and has always been. So, if you are not from Florida and are not from any of the counties that Ron represented as a Congressman, it is best to listen and learn from those of us who know Ron.
thats foolish …at best
natdj is about natdj etc etc
DeSantis deserves MAGA support. And he will get to the bottom of this. He will always benefit from doing a good job.
just pull an alvie bragg on lefty
subpoena all leftists and make up charges and let them have to spend time and money to “prove” they are innocent
now is the time!!!
There could be factors that result in Routh being found not guilty. For example, he might have a vague memory of Trump sexually assaulting him in a Gentleman’s Warehouse changing room.
You got an up viote for cleverness.
How are FL officials going to investigate when all the evidence is held by the Feds, and they don’t share.
