Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reacted to the Tuesday announcement of a third indictment against former President Donald Trump by criticizing Washington, D.C., instead of Trump, his chief rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
“I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, D.C., to their home districts,” DeSantis said in a statement. “Washington, D.C., is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality.”
