DeSantis Launches Investigation Into Trump Shooting Attempt

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans for a state investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which occurred at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The investigation will run concurrently with a federal probe initiated by the FBI, following an incident involving suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, who allegedly aimed an AK-style rifle at Trump. DeSantis expressed concerns about the federal government's involvement, suggesting potential conflicts of interest due to ongoing prosecutions of Trump by federal agencies. Routh, a convicted felon, has been charged with multiple firearm-related offenses, and additional charges may follow. Trump, who stated he felt safe, emphasized the need for transparency regarding how the suspect managed to get so close to him. The governor is expected to provide further details about the investigation in the coming days.
