Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis broke his silence Monday about former President Donald Trump’s possible indictment.
Trump announced Saturday he expects to be arrested Tuesday by the Manhattan District Attorneys' Office, which is led by Alvin Bragg. The potential indictment relates to a years-long investigation into whether Trump paid hush money to former porn star actress Stormy Daniels. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, sent $130,000 to Daniels so she would not disclose her alleged affair. Cohen claims Trump then reimbursed him for the payments, with authorities investigating whether Trump forged business records to hide the alleged payout.
DeSantis broke his silence on the issue Monday.
“The Manhattan District Attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor and so he like, other Soros-funded prosecutors, weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety,” DeSantis said.
