Ron DeSantis emphasized the need for Florida's own investigation into Ryan Routh, asserting that the state's case should take precedence over federal charges involving the same individual.
DeSantis expressed skepticism about the federal Justice Department's ability to conduct a fair investigation due to its involvement in prosecuting Trump, stating it undermines integrity.
Routh faces serious state charges, including attempted murder, which could result in a life sentence, while federal charges seem less severe despite their significance.
Former federal prosecutor David Weinstein noted the likelihood of further charges against Routh, especially for threats made against a former President or presidential candidate.
