As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, five senior officials told NBC News that law enforcement agencies are conducting “preliminary security assessments” for the Manhattan Criminal Court in case Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) brings charges.
In response to this news, President Trump responded, saying that he will be “arrested” on Tuesday:
“Our nation is now third world and dying. The American dream is dead! The radical left anarchists have stolen our presidential election, and with it, the heart of our country. American patriots are being arrested and held in captivity like animals, while criminals and leftist thugs are allowed to roam the streets, killing and burning with no retribution. Millions are flooding through our open borders, many from prisons and mental institutions. Crime and inflation are destroying our very way of life. Now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has allowed new records to be set in violence crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, and based on an old and fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!”
In response to the news, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer, businessman and rival GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came out to call for the Manhattan DA to not indict the 45th president.
He explained that if the district attorney did go forward with an indictment of President Trump, it would be “the beginning of the end of the American experiment.”
With Vivek speaking out clearly about the issue, he called upon Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to announce a run for the presidency, to voice his opinion, particularly since President Trump currently resides in the state of Florida.
“[T]he ruling party is now looking to use police power to lock up its biggest political rival,” he wrote in response to a tweet sent by the governor yesterday. “The [GOP] donor class favorites have been deafeningly silent about it. Stand up or step aside. Stop being fake.”
I love St. Patrick’s Day too, but the ruling party is now looking to use police power to lock up its biggest political rival. The @GOP donor class favorites have been deafeningly silent about it. Stand up or step aside. Stop being fake. https://t.co/3QGVV6EkuR

Governor DeSantis is the second most popular potential GOP candidate for president and the most popular governor in America. Given that Trump also resides in his state, the Floridan should immediately issue a statement on a potential indictment.
The American people respect Governor DeSantis’ opinion and want to hear what he has to say on this important issue. As of this report, Governor DeSantis has not made a statement on the matter.

Actually DeSantis could block NY on this. At least for a time.
DeSantis has been extremely quiet in regards to the political prosecution of Trump. He has also said nothing in regard to the Jan 6th defendants, many of whom are Florida residents.
The family of at least one defendant has said they had reached out to the governor’s office and has had no response. Even if there is nothing much DeSantis can do, he should at least express outrage at the obvious political prosecution of people just because they are Trump supporters. The double standards between treatment of democrat supporters and conservatives are glaring!
I agree with Vivek on the one hand. On the other hand, I do think from a legal standpoint, he may wait until the actual indictment happens. If it does, and he still doesn’t say anything, he’s toast.
What has happened about which DeSantis can comment? Trump posts something? Just because an opponent says something, the other is required to react?
Trump is falling into the Dems trap. Calling for protests and getting people on the streets is simply going to feed into the “MAGA extremists” trope.
Why he doesn’t see this is the thing that should draw comments.
But…it’s what old fools do.
I understand the need to comment when or if something happens. But, just because Trump is all worked up over the rumors of his impending arrest...that doesn’t mean everyone else has to be involved in his mind games.
When Trump is arrested, I imagine DeSantis will have something to say.
The fact that Trump is using this whole thing as a fundraiser gives me a Tammy and Jim Baker vibe.
False .
No Governor can block or delay a properly completed Extradition request .
The ignorance of the law on this site is scary .
Are you a PAID Trump Poster ?
You post the irrational nonsense from that Tired Anonymous Trump funded
Blogger Sundance .
You reply with a script.
I have spotted a few Trump paid posters here now .
The AP story last week spilled the beans on the Trump Paid Poster Army .
That may be. Not a huge fan. But he’s a lawyer, if he says anything, and I am not sure he will, it will be after the indictment.
Nope he needs to put up or shut up and so do you Drew.
I believe he was responding to an NBC story that insiders supposedly released. I have seen many posts claiming Trump released this story, I don't think that is true.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, five senior officials told NBC News that law enforcement agencies are conducting “preliminary security assessments” for the Manhattan Criminal Court in case Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) brings charges.
That won't be happening.
As uphill and futile a battle as it may be, I will be doing my best from now until the primaries are over to discourage Trump's nomination as it will end in certain and catastrophic defeat.

Did Trump call you a name? What was it?
Proven track record? At what? Sending Democrats to Washington?
That's the only "winning" he's been doing lately.
“Actually DeSantis could block NY on this. At least for a time.”
U.S. Supreme Court has ruled Governors have no power to block extradition, period.
Probably a moot issue anyway.
If indicted, Trump’s attorneys will work out a deal that will allow Trump to fly to NY and surrender voluntarily, probably already have. Happens all the time in high profile cases.
In 1861 the Supreme Court ruled that Governors did have such power. Then in 1987 the ever growing in corruption USSC decided that Governors did not have such power.
Proving that the USSC cannot be consistent and accurate in forming decisions. Proving that their rulings are not based on law, but on political leanings.
Which court should be listened to?
Just wow. You have a proven fighter with a track records and you won’t support him.
We would have been better off if Hillary had won in your eyes.
Open your eyes, take the wins, get involved in the fight.
Trump is still in the fight, you would have given up a long time ago. I’ll back a winner any day. Babe Ruth batted .342 and few were home runs. Trump make some home runs.
