Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, when asked about rumours of former President Donald Trump's impending indictment, denounced the man in charge of the investigation, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
What the man who might be Mr Trump's most formidable presidential rival said next, however, was telling.
"I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair," he said. "I just I can't speak to that."
He went on to mention "porn star hush money payments" a second time, before pivoting back to criticism of what he called a "high-profile politicised prosecution" by a prosecutor he said was backed by deep-pocketed liberal donor George Soros.
The Florida governor seemed to go out of way to emphasise the tawdry origins of the potential crimes being investigated, even while denouncing the investigation itself.
That could be a sign of how Mr Trump's presidential rivals handle a possible arrest and criminal trial for falsifying business records and state campaign finance law violations.
Mr DeSantis had been under pressure from Trump supporters to defend the former president and denounce the prosecution ever since the Mr Trump speculated on his social media website that he would be arrested on Tuesday.

So could have The Donald. Instead, he's been a complete sh*tbag. Now the retards are all up in arms that DeSantis reciprocates in kind.
He’s a child
Dude this is a poll tested handler response. If you cannot see that, don’t know what to tell you.
This guys is Jeb without the guac bowl.

You think this is nasty. Read up on the history of political campaigns, this is nothing.
DeSantis is the Gov of Florida.
The Trump case does not involve the office of the Gov of Florida.
The prosecutor in this case is not a Florida prosecutor
The alleged crime did not occur in the state of Florida.
The Gov should have said that the case does not involve me in any official capacity; I do not know the facts of the case and it would be inappropriate for me to speak for President Trump in any capacity.
“Great response”
Absolutely.....but not good enough for some right here on FR........You just can’t satisfy some people. SMH
That is, I am certain, part of it. But it doesn’t explain all of it.
RdS is just as outraged as he was 1/7/21 when the entirety of DC GOP went all in on the coup. He wasn’t, he isn’t now. He knows exactly why Trump paid this two bit whore, who he NEVER touched, off. It was cheaper than going through the process of defending himself in our crappy court system. RdS is quite literally Bush league to me now. He’s lost any potential support from me he would have ever possibly garnered. He’s off my list in ‘24, ‘28, any other elections I might live to see. He’s just as mealy mouthed on equal justice before the law as he is on financing the incredibly dangerous proxy war on Russia.
I don’t know if Trump was banging Stormy Daniels or not, it’s not the point, the point is, he was accused of it and paid her a bunch of money to keep quiet about something.
Trump cheating on his wife is something he’s done repeatedly; it would come as no surprise if he was cheating with a porn star.
You know she denied the affair, right?
Yet you keep spewing that cr@p.
Desantis fluffers are working hard to stiffen support for their hero.
He’s mealy mouthed on equal justice before the law, he’s mealy mouthed on financing the proxy war. His donor base is raking in the billions from the war. The longer, more violent the war, the more cash to be made to float to RdS to stop the only man capable of derailing the MIC gravy train.
Maybe if Trump hadn’t cheated on is wife multiple times people might look the other way with respect to Stormy Daniels, this particular mess was created solely by Trump’s on behavior.
Point to this lawsuit Trump has against DeSantis.
Keep digging.
The GOP campaign skipped past ugly and is already on misshapen
What did Clinton’s adviser the snake-head say in referring to Paula Jones? “Drag a $20 bill through a trailer park and you get Paula Jones?”
That’s the Clintons for you.
Nobody with half a brain cares if Trump cheated or cheats. We want economic POLICY that puts America First. We are way past caring about style.
