DeSantis Assigns Office of Statewide Prosecutor to Investigate Assassination Attempt on Trump

During a press conference earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecutor has been assigned to investigate the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump near his golf course in Palm Beach. Below is an official statement from DeSantis’ office, and a video of the press conference.

“The State of Florida is conducting its own investigation into the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. 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.

As I announced in Palm Beach County this morning, I am assigning this case to the Office of the Statewide Prosecutor. The suspect is believed to have violated state laws across multiple judicial circuits. The State of Florida has jurisdiction over the most serious, readily provable offense: attempted murder.

The public deserves answers on how something like this could happen. I have directed our state agencies to move expeditiously and to provide full transparency to the public.

There will be accountability in Florida. The people of our state, and the entire country, deserve no less.”
