DeSantis accuses DoJ of political bias after Trump’s indictment
United States Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to Twitter to criticize the Department of Justice’s move to indict former President Donald Trump in classified documents probe. DeSantis joined his Republican colleague Kevin McCarthy in condemning the precedent to go forward with federal charges against a former president, promising that the “DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all.” He underscored that the “weaponization of federal law enforcement” amounts to a “mortal threat to a free society,” accusing the DoJ of not pursuing similar actions against former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or the current president’s son Hunter Biden.
