DeSantis stands by Trump amidst new indictment, promises action.

Republican Candidate ⁤Ron DeSantis​ Vows to Clean⁢ House at FBI and DOJ

Republican presidential⁤ candidate Ron DeSantis ⁤has made a bold ⁣promise during​ an⁤ engaging​ interview. He stated⁣ that if ⁣elected as President of ‌the ‌United⁣ States, he will take decisive action ​to ‍address the ‌concerns‌ surrounding‌ the FBI and Department of Justice.

DeSantis expressed his ‌views ‍during a recent conversation with⁣ CNN⁣ host⁤ Jake⁢ Tapper. The discussion revolved around a ⁤letter received by former President⁤ Donald Trump,‍ informing him of an investigation⁣ into his alleged attempts ‌to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Tapper questioned DeSantis about the accountability of ​Trump if ⁢evidence of⁣ criminality is ‍presented. In response, DeSantis ‍highlighted a deeper issue plaguing the ‌nation. He argued against the criminalization of ‌political​ differences, citing the ⁣case against⁣ Trump in ⁢Manhattan as an example of stretching the statute to ⁣target him⁢ specifically.

DeSantis further ​emphasized the weaponization of the ⁤Department of Justice and‌ FBI against individuals ‌they dislike, particularly referencing the ⁢Russia collusion​ investigation against ⁣Trump. He⁢ firmly stated that as President,⁢ his primary goal would⁤ be to restore‌ a‌ single standard ⁣of​ justice‍ and put an end to the weaponization of these agencies.

“On day one, we will‍ have ‍a new FBI director ​and ⁤significant changes at the ⁣Department of‍ Justice,” DeSantis declared. He stressed⁣ the⁣ importance ⁣of instilling confidence in‌ Americans‌ from​ all ​political backgrounds, ensuring that justice is based ​on the rule of law ⁣rather than political affiliations.

While⁤ expressing ⁤his hope​ that ⁤Trump ‌does not ​face ​charges, DeSantis⁢ also urged people to ⁢focus on moving forward.
