Prominent American Republican Ron DeSantis (44) has criticized the New York prosecutor for their investigations into ex-President Donald Trump (76). Florida governor accused prosecutor Alvin Bragg, 49, of running a “political spectacle” on Monday.
When a prosecutor ignores everyday crimes and instead deals with a case from years ago involving hush money payments to porn stars, he’s pursuing a “political agenda” and using his office as a weapon. “That’s fundamentally wrong.”
New York prosecutors are investigating the deposed ex-president for hush money payments to a porn actress and a model. An indictment seems increasingly likely. Trump even claimed over the weekend that he would be arrested this Tuesday. He called on his followers to protest. Trump, who is seeking another Republican presidential nomination, sees the actions in New York – like many other legal disputes – as a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
Trump’s circle had assured in advance that the ex-president would follow the usual procedure if an indictment were brought – and would also voluntarily appear in court to find out details of possible charges. This would not require a sensational arrest. It is also considered likely that Trump could go home after such a formal procedure.
DeSantis is currently considered Trump’s biggest internal party competitor. He is also expected to run as a presidential candidate in the November 2024 election. The Florida governor had recently remained silent about the New York investigations.
While DeSantis was now lashing out at the Manhattan prosecutor, he also took a sneer at Trump during his appearance on Monday. He couldn’t comment on how a porn star got hush money to keep quiet about some alleged affair. This earned DeSantis laughter from the audience.
