DeSantis and Moody Take Charge of Investigation into Trump Assassination Attempt, Citing Distrust of Feds

In a bold move to safeguard the truth and ensure justice is served, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody have taken the reins of the investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Amid growing concerns about federal transparency and integrity, DeSantis signed an executive order on Tuesday, assigning the case to the Office of Statewide Prosecutor under Moody’s supervision. The decision reflects a growing skepticism shared by millions of Americans about the fairness and reliability of federal agencies that are simultaneously prosecuting Trump and tasked with investigating attempts on his life.



Governor DeSantis made it clear that the public deserves an honest and thorough investigation, free from the political bias that has plagued federal agencies in recent years. “In addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination attempt came to be,” DeSantis said during his press conference. The governor also directed all state agencies to expedite their efforts in uncovering the facts, signaling his commitment to ensuring that the truth comes to light.


Attorney General Ashley Moody echoed these sentiments, highlighting the inherent conflict of interest in allowing federal agencies, which are actively prosecuting Trump, to also investigate a crime in which Trump was the target. “It is awkward, to say the least, to have a prosecutorial agency and an investigatory agency that is bringing charges and seeking to put the victim away for life being the same agency and prosecutors that are going after the would-be assassin,” Moody remarked, underscoring the gravity of the situation.


The federal government’s involvement in the case has raised red flags among conservatives and Trump supporters alike, who view the federal agencies with suspicion given their ongoing legal pursuit of Trump. As Trump faces politically motivated indictments, many believe the federal government’s ability to fairly investigate the attempted assassination is compromised. The move by DeSantis and Moody to take control of the investigation is a critical step toward restoring faith in the justice system.


DeSantis astutely pointed out that the federal government does not have jurisdiction over the case, given that Trump is not a sitting federal official. “If you look at the federal statute, it applies to current federal officials … so, they don’t have jurisdiction over a case that’s not a federal official or is an apparent winner of a presidential election or the formally declared president-elect,” DeSantis explained. By assuming control at the state level, Florida’s leadership has ensured that Trump’s case will be treated with the seriousness and impartiality it deserves.


This decisive action sends a powerful message: Florida will not allow federal overreach or political bias to interfere with the pursuit of justice. By removing the investigation from federal hands, DeSantis and Moody have placed the responsibility where it belongs — in the hands of a state government that respects the rule of law and the rights of every American citizen, including former President Trump.


Trump’s supporters should be heartened by this development. The political witch hunts that have targeted Trump for years are now being called out for what they are: attempts to undermine a political movement that represents millions of Americans. But the American people are waking up. They see the double standards and the political games being played by the left, and they are rallying behind a leader who has faced these relentless attacks with courage and resolve.


As we approach the 2024 election, it’s more critical than ever to support leaders like Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Ashley Moody who are committed to protecting the American people and standing up against political corruption. The left may try to smear Trump and cast doubt on his leadership, but with each attack, his movement only grows stronger.


Donald Trump has proven time and again that he is a fighter — not just for himself, but for the American people. The attempts on his life are a reminder of the dangerous and lawless political environment we find ourselves in. It’s time for every conservative voter to stand up and ensure that our nation’s future is in the hands of leaders who put America first.


Florida’s decision to take control of this investigation is a step in the right direction, and it’s a testament to the fact that the American spirit cannot be crushed. This November, let’s make our voices heard and elect Donald Trump once again — because America needs strong leadership now more than ever.
