Florida Governor Ron DeSantis condemned the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump — and used his statement about it to campaign.
DeSantis posted a statement about the “weaponization of federal law enforcement” to his Twitter account on Thursday evening.
“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis began. “We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.”
The tweet continued, “Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?”
DeSantis then quickly switched gears to campaign for himself.
“The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all,” the governor concluded.
The Department of Justice has indicted former President Donald Trump on seven counts related to handling classified documents, according to reports.
Trump responded to the federal charges by declaring, “I AM INNOCENT” in multiple posts on Truth Social.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that a former president has faced federal charges.

If I was a juror in a Federal case I would assume every player on the side of the prosecution -- prosecutor, Federal agents, witnesses, etc. are political operatives and therefore have no business even showing their faces in the courtroom for a criminal trial. The defendant in any case brought by one of these operatives should be presumed guilty by definition.
Why? He made a good statement.
If Trump is out of the way then watch DeSpincter tack towards the polical center.
nonsense. Trump was a democrat. Desantis has always been an actual conservative
So sick of the Trumpers dragging this party over the cliff
Disgusting!!! Instead of defending Trump and his Presidency, he is taking this opportunity to compare him to Sicko Hunter and Killary to promote his failing campaign.
If by some awful happenstance the Uniparty nominates RDS as the GOP candidate, I’m writing in President Donald J Trump as my vote for President of the United States next November. I bet I’m not alone.
BTW: There is no GOP without Trump. Kiss it goodbye. Like the Whigs.
So what? When you run for president, you try to spin things toward reasons to vote for you. This is stupid.
Watch what happens now,
Trump will ride this indictent like a wave into the White House.
Almost past the point of caring about Desanctimonius. Not quite but getting tired of this Repuke
> So sick of the Trumpers dragging this party over the cliff
Yeah? Well, we true patriots are sick of you fake conservatives running down the best president we’ve had since Reagan, and maybe even better than Reagan.
You’re already given up, completely happy to throw Our President to the communist Deep State. We’ll never give up. Never. And that’s what you’re “sick of” most of all, right?
Trump tried to make the GOP a working class average citizen party but the counrtry clubbers would have none of it.
You, sorry to post something? This is hardly out of the ordinary. You've posted numerous things as of late as articles making childish attacks against DeSantis that was just a random person posting a comment on twitter.
If these were charges against DeSantis, Trump would be giddy and cheering them on.
Everyone KNOWS DeSameful will NEVER go after the DOJ, FBI, CIA, because he will be running for re-election AND the GOPe will NEVER tolerate such a thing!! There is NO ONE but Trump who WILL clean out these bastards, they will have to assinate him and THAT is what keeps me awake at night!!
No matter what happens I will be voting for Trump. My last vote I will ever cast.
Yo Trumpies. Payback is a bitch, ain’t it.
Time to put your big boy pants on and realize politics isn’t beanbag, but sometimes it looks a lot like cornhile…
And if the situation was reversed Trump would not only campaign on it he wouldn’t condemn it. I guess what Krispy Kreme did was better.
You are DEAD WRONG, after winning in 2016 Trump decided to leave Hillary alone!!! HUGE MISTAKE in my opinion!!!
