Gaetz says he worries about the political element in government agencies
A second assassination attempt was made against former President Donald Trump on Sunday when a man identified as Ryan Wesley Routh pointed a rifle at him from the perimeter of his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a news conference Monday, that Florida will be conducting its own investigation into the incident, after Routh faced federal charges of felony possession of a firearm and possessing a gun with a defaced serial number.
“I did announce yesterday we’re gonna be doing a state-level investigation. I understand that the feds are involved, but we do believe there were multiple violations of state law, we also believe that there’s a need to make sure that the truth about all this, comes out in a way that’s credible,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis told reporters he doesn’t think it’s best to have the same people currently prosecuting Trump conducting the investigation of the assassination attempt.
