Trump Goes on Bonkers Rant About His Shooting Investigation
Donald Trump is demanding the FBI and the Justice Department turn over their investigation into the September assassination attempt at a golf course in Florida to local authorities—namely, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.“The Kamala Harris/Joe Biden Department of Justice and FBI are mishandling and downplaying the second assassination attempt on my life since July,” Trump said in an official campaign statement Monday. “The charges brought against the maniac assassin are a slap on the wrist. It’s no wonder, since the DOJ and FBI have been coming after me nonstop with Weaponized Lawfare since I announced my first Historic Campaign for the Presidency.”Trump has worked to loop both agencies into a conspiracy, baselessly claiming that they haven’t taken the recent attempts on his life seriously. Meanwhile, at a court hearing on Monday, Justice Department Mark Dispoto told a federal judge that he has plans to bring more aggressive charges against Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who allegedly attempted to take Trump’s life earlier this month, including attempted assassination charges that could land Routh in prison for life.“The TRUTH would be followed, wherever it leads,” Trump continued. “OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND DISCREDITED, especially as it pertains to the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. LET FLORIDA HANDLE THE CASE!”Last week, DeSantis signed an executive order announcing the appointment of a statewide prosecutor to investigate the alleged attempt on Trump’s life. In a statement decrying Routh’s actions as “domestic terrorism,” DeSantis’s office tasked myriad state agencies to expedite their investigation into the attempted attack.“This deranged would-be assassin broke Florida law, and we will not wait on the federal government to act,” said Attorney General Ashley Moody. “Florida is launching its own investigation, and I have directed my statewide prosecutors to assist FDLE and FHP, as we work quickly to uncover the facts behind this latest attempt on President Trump’s life and provide trust and transparency to the American people.”
