Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who’s in search of the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, stated Tuesday that he hopes former President Donald Trump doesn’t get charged over the lethal Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

However I believe we have gone down the street on this nation of making an attempt to criminalize variations in politics fairly than saying okay, you do not like any individual, then defeat them within the election fairly than making an attempt to make use of the justice system,” he added.
DeSantis stated “as president” his job might be to “restore a single commonplace of justice, to finish weaponization of those (federal) companies.”

“This nation must have a debate in regards to the nation’s future. If I’m the nominee, I will concentrate on President (Joe) Biden’s failures. Then I’ll have the ability to articulate a optimistic imaginative and prescient for the longer term,” he added.
