Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revealed that his state would be conducting its own investigation into the recent attempted assassination incident that occurred while he was playing golf. DeSantis stated that he had not yet spoken with former President Donald Trump regarding the incident but emphasized the importance of uncovering the truth in a credible manner.
During a news conference in Orlando, Florida, Governor DeSantis explained the rationale behind Florida's decision to conduct a separate investigation from the federal authorities. He cited concerns about potential violations of state law and the need for a credible truth-seeking process.
DeSantis expressed reservations about the federal government's involvement in the investigation, pointing out that the same agencies prosecuting Trump in a different jurisdiction would now be handling the case. He voiced his belief that an independent state investigation would be more beneficial for the country.
The governor assured that more details about the state investigation would be disclosed in the coming days. The announcement of the investigation was initially made by DeSantis on Sunday.
DeSantis made these statements while standing alongside education leaders in Florida, underscoring the seriousness of the situation and the state's commitment to uncovering the truth behind the attempted assassination incident.
